Bengaluru: After hours of tension, the Benglauru police on Friday said a suspicious object thought to be a bomb by a local resident was only an abandoned bottle of Japanese wine.

"We didn't recover anything. It was a package of Japanese wine. The round matka-type bottle must have been consumed and abandoned there, rather than throwing it on the road as it was convenient," Bengaluru Police Commissioner N.S. Megharikh told IANS.
