TCS Bengaluru office receives hoax bomb threat from laid-off employee

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) in Bengaluru experienced panic as a former employee allegedly issued a hoax bomb threat.

The police, along with bomb disposal and dog squads, thoroughly inspected the premises but found nothing suspicious. The police are now searching for the ex-employee, who reportedly made the threat out of anger. This incident follows a similar hoax bomb alert received by TCS Hyderabad six months ago. TCS has not conducted any recent layoffs despite a decrease in headcount.
