Bomb Hoax Emails in Thiruvananthapuram Traced to France
Someone sent fake bomb threats to places in a city.
The police are trying to find out who did it.
They asked Microsoft, the company that runs email accounts, for help.
Microsoft said the emails came from France, but isn't giving the police all the information they need.
The police want to know who sent the threats and why.
They are still working on the case, and they might try different ways to get the information from Microsoft so they can catch the person responsible for the threats.
This is important because these threats can scare people and disrupt normal activities.
Microsoft informed the cyber police that hoax bomb threats were sent from France.
Microsoft is reportedly not fully cooperating with the investigation.
The investigation involves threats to various government establishments and hotels.
The threats were sent via Hotmail IDs.
