According to The Hindu, The Jalahalli police on Monday received a mail from an unidentified person claiming that a bomb has been planted in Kadamba Gardenia Hotel in Jalahalli. The police reached the spot with a bomb squad and evacuated people who had gathered at the hotel for a private function.
The letter contained verbal abuses towards the police and claimed responsibility for the Rameshwaram Cafe bomb blast. It was received by the police around 11:50 a.m. Upon reading the content, the police swiftly swung into action, rushing to the hotel along with a dog squad and cordoning off the area.
