Bangalore, Sep 26: Work was affected in two leading IT companies, Microsoft and IBM, in the Airport police station limits in the city on Tuesday September 25, following a bomb scare.

Employees of the two firms went through some anxious moments as they were made to vacate their offices, to help the police conduct sabotage checks. Microsoft and IBM have their offices in the same commercial complex situated on Koramangala Ring Road (Domlur-Koramangala Road), the police said.

Around 10 a.m., receptionists of the two companies received anonymous telephone calls that bombs have been planted in their offices. On being alerted, the Airport police, along with staff from the Bomb Detection Squad and sniffer dog squad, searched the commercial complex, which houses several other IT companies.

The searches did not reveal any explosives. The two calls were made from different numbers, the police said. The Airport police have registered a case.

    This campus is so big, that it is tough to locate bomb, even if it is planted. But they have a tight security while entering the building but not while entering the campus (don't know about the parking slot). I hope the call is a hoax.
