Nashik, Nov 16 (PTI) An unattended bag spotted on a road in Maharashtra’s Nashik city on Sunday morning created panic, but police later confirmed that it contained nothing suspicious.

After being alerted, the police rushed to the spot and evacuated the area. The Bomb Detection & Disposal Squad (BDDS) team, a dog squad and personnel from other agencies also reached the spot.
