Mangalore, August 30: In a bizarre incident, a bomb scare created a flutter at Mangalore City Corporation building located at Lalbagh here on Tuesday.

Mangalore City Police and DK district police had a testing time as they received an anonymous call threatening to blast the city corporation office.

Immediately, bomb disposal squads and sniffer dogs pressed into service and thoroughly searched the building.

With the help of bomb detector, the police checked all the floors of the building. However, after a long and arduous labour, the police found that it was a hoax call.
