Chandigarh, Jan 30 (PTI) No suspicious item was found post a thorough check at a lounge-cum-nightclub here Monday after an anonymous caller claimed an explosion would take place there, police said.
It was a hoax call and efforts are being made to trace the caller, they said.
Earlier in the day, police said that the area was cordoned off and the entire stretch which houses other nightclubs and restaurants were also searched.
“The nightclub manager received an anonymous call regarding some explosive there… We conducted a thorough check, but no suspicious item was found. It was a hoax call and efforts are being made to trace the caller,” Sector 26 police station SHO Maninder Singh said.
Last week, Chandigarh police had received information about a bomb threat in the district court complex here. However, it was later found to be a hoax. PTI SUN KVK KVK
