The police scrambled all over the Governor's official residence and finally concluded that it was a hoax call.
According to Raj Bhavan sources, the call was made from <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/karnataka-articles" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Bidar, the northern district of Karnataka</a> at the Maharashtra border.
"Investigations revealed that the call was made from Bidar. After the call, the phone was switched off. Police are trying to trace the caller," a Raj Bhavan official told PTI on Tuesday. He also said the Governor is currently in Belagavi.
