The recent bomb hoax call to Telangana’s Praja Bhavan, which triggered widespread panic and prompted swift police and bomb squad responses, has been traced back to an enraged husband.
Punjagutta police apprehended Shiva Kumar, the individual behind the false alarm, who dialed the police control room alleging the presence of a bomb at Praja Bhavan. Investigations revealed that Kumar, described as an alcohol addict known for frequent arguments with his spouse, acted impulsively after his wife refused to answer his calls.
In a fit of anger, b fabricated the bomb threat, even extending it to other locations across the city. His actions led to a significant disruption in public services and a substantial deployment of law enforcement resources.
Police have emphasised the seriousness of such false alarms and the legal consequences they entail. Kumar is currently in police custody pending further legal proceedings.
