In a shocking turn of events today, police received a bomb threat call claiming that an explosive was planted inside the Mumbai - Visakha LTT Express train. The call triggered immediate action as authorities in Visakhapatnam (Vizag) sprang into action the moment the train reached the station.
The Bomb Disposal Squad and dog squads were deployed immediately. Every compartment of the train was searched thoroughly, and fortunately, no explosive materials were found. Passengers were evacuated briefly, and railway services were temporarily delayed during the operation.
In a disturbing coincidence, a similar hoax call was made to the Vijayawada Police, warning that a bomb had been planted at Besant Road, a busy commercial area. Authorities responded by shutting down all shops in the vicinity and launching a full-scale search operation using bomb squads and sniffer dogs. No suspicious materials were discovered here either, confirming both threats were false alarms.
Authorities have now launched an investigation into both incidents, and efforts are underway to trace the source of these prank calls. Police have urged the public to remain calm but vigilant and report any suspicious activity immediately.
Such hoax calls not only spread panic but also divert crucial law enforcement resources that could be used for real emergencies. Strict legal action is expected against the culprits once identified.
