The e-mail contained only one line and was sent from the address different from the address received by the Chamarajanagar representative.
The police took all the necessary measures, including the deployment of bombs and liquidation detection, a dog team and other special units in sensitive places such as a suburban bus stand, city railway station, hotels and places of tourist interest, including the Mysur Palace.
