Bengaluru: HAL technician's toolbox causes bomb scare at metro station
A forgotten toolbox caused a brief bomb scare at KR Puram Metro Station on Wednesday morning.
Commuters spotted the unattended box and security quickly jumped in, especially since big events like PM Modi's metro inauguration are coming up.
Turns out, the box belonged to an HAL technician who accidentally left it behind after returning from a trip.
Police let the technician go with a warning
After sealing off the station for about 30 minutes, bomb squads found only metal tools—no explosives or threats.
Police let the technician go with a warning.
