| Pune: A bomb threat, which proved to be a hoax kept Pune police on its toes with frantic searches till late on Tuesday night.
It started with a fake letter dropped on Tuesday in front of the cabin of the principal of the Fergusson college, one of the esteemed educational institutions in the city.
An office employee handed over the envelope to the principal R G Pardesi, who was aghast to read the contents of the letter that said "Bombs have been planted at the Fergusson and Wadia college and also in a famous Ganesh temple and would go off in the course of the day. Five gun-wielding men would then fire shots at random".
Police plunged into action after the letter was handed over to them. The letter dated April 28 and it was written in Hindi by one Mohammad T.
Bomb detection squads combed the entire area of the targets mentioned and concluded that it was a hoax.
The incident resulted in temporary disruption in the examinations for B.A and B.Sc that were being conducted in the Fergusson college as students got panicked and came out of the halls. |
