Security agencies on Tuesday evening went into a tizzy after the police control room received a call about a bomb at the Parliament premises. The caller was tracked down at a northeast Delhi area.
Several police teams, along with bomb disposal squads, were rushed near Parliament and it was at 6.12 pm that the fire department was alerted, following which fire tenders were rushed there too, said police and fire officials.
“It was a hoax call and we have tracked down the caller, who is a resident of Jyoti Nagar area. The motive behind the act hasn’t been ascertained yet,” DCP (New Delhi) Jatin Narwal said, adding that the caller may have to face legal action too. The police commissioner held a meeting with all deputy commissioners and discussed security concerns in details earlier on Tuesday, a police source said.
