Bomb scare disrupts test at dental college

BANGALORE: The internal assessment test of the BDS course at Rajiv Gandhi Dental College at Cholanayakanahalli in Hebbal police station limits was disrupted for some time on Saturday following a bomb scare. The police said that around 10 a.m., the receptionist of the college received an anonymous call that a bomb had been planted at the college and that it would explode at 10.15 a.m. Soon after she received a similar call five minutes later, the receptionist informed the principal. On being alerted, the Hebbal police along with the Bomb Detection Squad personnel and sniffer dogs conducted a thorough search of the college premises. No explosives were found and the call turned out to be hoax, the police said.

The Thalghatapura police have arrested four youths who allegedly murdered Shiva Kumar (17), a first year PUC student, on Kankapura Road on the outskirts of the city on March 4.

The police gave the names of the arrested as Muniraju, Harish, Chandra and Basavaraju. According to the police, Muniraju and Shiva Kumar were after the same girl.
