The office was put on alert and the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad swiftly reached the spot to carry out an extensive search, only to find out it was a hoax.
A man from Hyderabad has been arrested in India's Telangana state after making a hoax bomb threat to Google office located in Pune, Maharashtra, police said on Monday.
According to the police, the perpetrator was intoxicated when making the call.

“The office, located on the 11th floor of a multi-story commercial building in Pune's Mundhwa area, received a call late Sunday night that a bomb was kept in the office premises,” Pune Deputy Commissioner of Police Vikran Deshmukh said.

The police filed the case under Sections 505(1)(B) (intent to cause, or which is likely to cause, fear or alarm to public) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of Indian Penal Code (IPC).
“The caller has been traced to Hyderabad and apprehended. He allegedly made the call in an inebriated condition,” Deshmukh said, adding that further investigation is ongoing.
