A Few of Bengaluru schools received bomb threats on Friday. The state police soon swung into action.
Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai also directed the senior police officials to probe the authenticity of the video.
The video threat was allegedly released by the international terror group Al-Qaeda. This comes in the wake of the ongoing Hijab ban row in Bengaluru schools and other educational institutions.
Also, Bomb squads are currently conducting thorough search at the locations. Recently, Al-Qaeda chief had praised the Bengaluru girl Muskan for standing tall in the eye of storm. Muskan is a second-year student of BCom. Muskan Khan was heckled at a college over the Hijab ban row by some hooligans.

The girl had bravely handled the situation while raising counter slogans of Allah-hu-Akbar.
Muskan Khan’s father Mohammed Hussain calls it an unnecessary interference in India’s internal matters.
Moreover, all the children were immediately evacuated from the purported points of threat.
Bengaluru City Police said that seven schools in the city have received bomb threats. Currently, the police teams are busy conducting checks on the spot.
Besides, the identity of the senders has also not been ascertained yet. The Karnataka High Court ruling comes as a big blow to all. It says that Hijab is not an essential part of Islam.
Furthermore, the bench mentions that the prescription of a school uniform is only a reasonable restriction, which the students cannot object to.
