Bomb scare in Parliament premises, caller tracked down

Security agencies went into a tizzy after the police control room received a call about a bomb at the Parliament premises this evening but it turned to be hoax and the caller was tracked down at a North-east Delhi area.

“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.

“The caller is being brought to the Parliament Street police station, where he will be questioned,” DCP (New Delhi) Jatin Narwal said, adding that the caller may have to face legal action too.

A senior official said that once the caller is brought to the police station, he is likely to be taken to RML hospital for a mental check up. The police did not reveal the caller’s identity citing security concerns.
