Local authorities were agitated after the Taj West End Hotel in Bengaluru received an anonymous bomb threat email on September 28. The Taj West End is a well-known hotel that often hosts high-profile guests including politicians and cricketers.

The email was sent by unknown persons and prompted the police and the local bomb squad to quickly arrive at the hotel to conduct a thorough investigation, Central Bengaluru Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Shekhar HT told ANI.

The Taj West End is a historic hotel. The 133-year-old hotel belongs to the business hotel category of the Taj Group and is considered the oldest hotel in the city. Prominent politicians and cricketers come here.

Authorities are working to determine whether the threat is a hoax. They are also looking for the perpetrators behind the email. Further updates are underway as the investigation continues.
