Bomb hoax creates panic in Ghaziabad school

A hoax call about a bomb planted at a school today created panic among students and staff with management evacuating them to a safer place.

Police rushed to Chabeel Das Public School with a bomb disposal and dog squad along with a firefighting team and launched a search operation but found no bomb in the premises, Ghaziabad SP Salman Taj Patil said.

The unidentified caller called up the school twice and warned against taking the information lightly. He said a bomb had been planted on the ground floor of the school.

Several parents also reached to the school as the news spread.
 

We are trying to identify the caller and hopefully the culprit will be nabbed soon, Patil said.
