Bomb Threat at Lourdes Central School in Mangaluru Leads to Security Sweep, Later Declared Hoax

A bomb threat email received early on February 26 at Lourdes Central School in Mangaluru prompted a major security operation involving the Kadri Police Station, bomb disposal squad, and dog teams conducting a thorough campus search. Similar threats were reported at other state locations, including Dharwad and Mangaluru courts. Preliminary investigations linked the sender names to Tamil Nadu, though their authenticity remains unverified. Police later confirmed the threat was a hoax, with no explosives found.
