After an investigation, police discovered that a Bengaluru-based senior software engineer, working with Infosys, made the hoax call. Tiwari attended the call, but since the caller asked for a man named Abhishek, Tiwari hung up assuming the person dialed a wrong number. When Tiwari received another call from the same number, he was frightened. We directed the engineer to meet an officer from Bommanohalli police station in Bengaluru and get his statement recorded," said Kumar. In his statement to the Bengaluru police, the engineer said following the hoax call, he was contacted by Mumbai police too.
