The security personnel, bomb detection squads and anti-sabotage teams reached Praja Bhavan after receiving a call from an unidentified person in the police control room who said that the bomb is at the premises.
The Praja Bhavan, also known as Pragati Bhavan, is an official resident of the Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka.
This comes hours after a Varanasi-bound IndiGo flight received a bomb threat at the Delhi airport on Tuesday morning but a search of the aircraft found it to be a hoax.
