Mail threatening to blow-off Writers' Buildings a fake

The mail sent to the Kolkata police commissioner's e-mail address this afternoon threatening to blow off 200-year-old Writers' Buildings, has been found to be a fake.
A top source in the force said the e-mail was sent to the CP's official mail address at around 2.30 PM today spurring the police to tighten security around the iconic building, which is under renovation.
Kolkata Police Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Pallab Kanti Ghosh said e-mail was written in broken English and asked Kolkata Police to 'Check for bomb in Writers' Building'.
On investigation, it was found the threat was fake and the mail was sent from a fake address, he said.

"After checking the IP address it was found that the mail was sent by somebody in the state itself. Our cyber cell section is looking into the matter. We cannot divulge more on this since probe is still on," Ghosh said.
Immediately after receiving the mail, security around Writers' Buildings was beefed up and senior Kolkata Police officers along with the bomb squad personnel and sniffer dog squad rushed there. It was vacated as part of security measure.
Besides regular policemen, Kolkata Police personnel in plains clothes would be posted at the heritage premises tonight, police said.
