We immediately deployed an anti-sabotage team along with a bomb detection and disposal squad to thoroughly inspect and sanitise the area," Kalaburagi police commissioner Sharanappa S D told PTI.
After a comprehensive screening, it was confirmed to be a hoax bomb threat email, he added. A case has been registered and the matter will be investigated, he said.

He said that upon translation into English, the email was found to discuss Tamil Nadu politics.
