New Delhi: Security officials were sent into a tizzy after they received a call from a man, who claimed to have planted bombs at the residences of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday afternoon.
The call later turned out to be hoax. A senior police official said the call was received around 12.30 PM at the control room of the National Investigation Agency, which informed the matter to the police immediately.
"Thorough checks were conducted in both places but nothing was found. It was a hoax call," the official said, adding Delhi Police's anti-terrorism unit Special Cell was also informed about the matter.
The call was made through Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service and efforts are on to trace the man behind it. A case is also likely to be registered in connection with the matter, the official added.
Earlier this week, a man had called up the police control room threatening to have planted bombs in Rashtrapati Bhavan and undisclosed locations in central Delhi.
