The accused had resigned earlier from TCS to pursue a post-graduation degree. But when she returned, the company refused to take her back. She felt dejected and made the bomb threat call on an impulse, said a police officer.
A team of Bengaluru police arrived in Belagavi on November 15 to investigate a bomb threat call made to the office of IT major TCS in the capital city.
They went to the house of B. Shruti Shetty, a IT professional who had earlier worked with the company. She faces the charge of making an anonymous call to a bus driver of the TCS office in Bengaluru on November 14, alleging that a bomb had been planted in the B block.
On being alerted by the driver, TCS authorities informed the police. Police officers told employees to leave the block and searched the premises. On realising that the call was a hoax, they traced the call, which was made from a home in Belagavi.
Police officers spoke to the accused and her parents. They found that Ms. Shetty was upset with some officers of her company for refusing to re-appoint her after her higher studies. She had resigned earlier from TCS to pursue a post-graduation degree. But when she returned, the company refused to take her back. She felt dejected and made the call on an impulse, said a police officer.
A notice has been issued to her to appear before the investigating officer.
Ms Shetty’s father, a hotelier, has served as a member of the city corporation in the past.

Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
