The call, however, turned out to be hoax as nothing suspicious was found after the search last night, a Government Railway Police (GRP) official told PTI today.
Police Control Room received the anonymous call late last night that the bomb has been placed in the express train and it will explode at the time of its departure at 6 AM today, he said.
Following this Railway authorities, GRP and Railway Protection Force (RPF) searched the train with the help of bomb disposal and dog squads but no explosive was found, the official said.
Local police are tracing the person who made the call.
