Faridabad, Apr 3 (PTI) The Mini Secretariat here in Sector 12 turned into a scene of commotion on Thursday after the threat of a bomb inside.
The mail was sent to the office of Faridabad Deputy Commissioner around 7.30 am.
The threat prompted authorities to evacuate the building and seal it.
After a long and thorough search, around 3.30 pm, search authorities concluded it was a hoax, Central Police Station SHO Inspector Sunil Kumar said.
A bomb disposal and sniffer dog squad, a crime team, and cyber staff led the search.
The DC said the mail threatened to blow up the secretariat.
“The security agencies were informed and after a long search operation, the threat turned out to be a hoax. The security agencies are investigating the matter thoroughly and such mischievous elements will not be spared,” DC Vikram Singh Yadav said. PTI COR VN VN
