TCS receives bomb threat from ex-employee in Bengaluru’s Electronic City

Bengaluru: A former TCS employee from Electronic City allegedly phoned the company’s transport help desk, claiming a bomb had been planted in one of the buildings. Subsequent police investigations revealed the call to be a hoax.

C K Baba, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) for the southeast division, told DH that the call was traced back to the ex-employee who was seeking revenge for her termination. She wanted to retaliate for her dismissal, which is why she made the call, he said.

The caller, a woman from Belagavi and a former employee of the firm, had been dismissed several months earlier.
