Bengaluru: A loud noise was heard in South Bengaluru on Friday, July 2, around 12.30 pm. Officials are now checking if it was another sonic boom from an IAF jet.
Several took to social media to report the loud sound and also how window panes and doors rattled due to the sound.
The sound was heard in Sarjapur area, JP Nagar, Benson Town, Ulsoor, ISRO layout, HSR Layout, South Bengaluru and East Bengaluru.
Meanwhile, the Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre said in a statement that it closely analysed the data from the Seismic Observatory but it did not show any signal of local tremor or earthquake.
The Indian Air Force too denied any flying activity which could cause any loud noise. “IAF denies any flying activity or any known action from their side to have caused any loud noise reportedly heard in Bengaluru. None of the IAF bases or units, including ASTE (Aircraft and Systems Testing Establishment), was flying at that time,” the IAF said in a statement.
Last year when a similar incident happened, the IAF said it could have been an outcome of a sonic boom from its aircraft. This time there was no such reason for the noise that could rattle Bengaluru and neighbouring districts.
