THIRUVANATHAPURAM: The Chief Minister’s official residence, Cliff House, received a bomb threat on Monday. The threat message was sent to the Chief Minister’s private secretary via email. A similar threat message was also received at the South Indian Bank branch at Palayam.

Police, along with bomb squads and canine units, conducted thorough inspections at both places.

However, no suspicious objects were found during the searches.

This follows a series of similar threats received by many places in the city this year. Although multiple cases have been registered, police have not yet been able to identify who is behind the threats.

Hoax bomb threats were sent to major locations such as the central railway station, airport, collectorate, district court, luxury hotels, and the secretariat this year.
