Earlier this year, in a startling revelation, Karnataka police had identified the person responsible for sending the threat mail to a private school. According to the police, the person - a minor and a student of another private school - who had sent the threatening e-mail of planting a bomb in the school did this without even being aware of possible consequences. "This is a serious offense but the boy has done this out of his ignorance. We will send the entire report to the juvenile board and investigate it according to the instruction of the board," a senior police officer responsible for the investigation said.
The incident came to the surface when on Friday a premiere school at Basaveshwara Nagar in Bengaluru complained to the police that they have received an e-mail threatening that a bomb has been planted in the school. The mail along with other documents were handed over to the police. (With agency inputs)
