As per the reports, an unidentified person called the hotel’s reception desk at around 11:55 AM today. After the preliminary investigation, the threat is said to be fake as Gurugram police did not find anything after a one-and-a-half-hour search operation.
During the search operation, the hotel was completely empty. The policy has also asked for the help of a cyber cell and cyber crime teams to nab the accused. After the call, the security at the hotel has also been beefed up.
