The St. Thomas Mount Metro Rail station in Chennai faced a bomb threat on Thursday, which was later confirmed to be a hoax. This incident follows a similar hoax at Anna University the previous day, part of a recent spate across the country.
Special forces were alerted and swiftly deployed, conducting a thorough hour-long search with sniffer dogs. Authorities determined the threat was false.
Police are investigating to identify those responsible. Stringent security measures are now enforced at the Metro station for passenger safety.
