Software major Wipro stepped up security at all its offices following an e-mail threat to send a toxic drug to its campus here, the company said on Saturday.

"We have augmented security measures at all office locations, though there is no impact on our operations," said the city-based IT firm in a statement.

Confirming receipt of a threatening letter, the outsourcing firm lodged a complaint with the cyber crime police in the city earlier in the day.

"We confirm filing a complaint with the local law enforcement authorities after receiving a threatening letter from an unidentified source," read the statement
