Abandoned lunch box creates panic in the city
Panic spread for the second consecutive day today about suspected bombs in the city. While yesterday there was a hoax call that some miscreants were going to blow up a train at the city railway station, an abandoned tiffin box
created terror on the Gill Road today.
Some shopkeepers spotted a tiffin box lying on the road divider on the Gill Road this afternoon. This created panic among the shopkeepers and they informed the police. A police party led by SHO Surinder Mohan from Division Number 2 police station reached the spot. An anti-sabotage team of the police was also summoned to defuse the bomb, if any.
SHO Surinder Mohan said, “When the tiffin box was opened – kheer and other eatables were found.” He said that the entire operation took about half an hour.
On Sunday evening too, the police received hoax call that some miscreants were going to blow up a train near Ludhiana. Ludhiana SSP RK Jaiswal along with the police force reached the railway station and thoroughly checked a train which was on way to Banaras from Jammu. Nothing was found on the train.
Meanwhile, Khanna railway station too was inspected on Sunday evening in the view of the coming festive season.
