The Kerala Police went into a tizzy after they received threats that terror would visit the state on Sunday evening. According to them, a TV-9 journalist in Bangalore received repeated calls from someone who introduced himself as a Mujahideen calling from Pakistan. The message in Hindi was that after Bangalore and Ahmedabad, the next target was Kerala. The anonymous call also said blasts would occur in Kerala at 7 pm on Sunday. The calls were received on Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon but as the day passed off peacefully, the calls were being considered a hoax.
