Police are tracing the email sent to the state protocol officer as part of a wider pattern of hoax threats this year.

Overview

  • The Kerala Secretariat in Thiruvananthapuram received a bomb threat by email on Tuesday morning.
  • Inspections by police, the bomb disposal unit, and a dog squad found no explosive material.
  • Officers determined the threat was fake following the site-wide checks.
