GG News Bureau

Aurangabad, 15th Feb. Police searched the building of the Bombay High Court’s Aurangabad bench after receiving a call about a bomb in the premises, which turned out to be a hoax, an official said on Wednesday.

He said the police control room in Aurangabad received the threat call from Bihar around 5.45 p.m. on Tuesday.

“The caller said ‘I have paid money and my work is not being done. So I kept a bomb in the high court’,” the official informed.

Teams from Pundalik Nagar police station and the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad reached the high court building and carried out an extensive search, but nothing suspicious was found, he said.

The teams searched two floors of the building, its rear area and the high court’s parking area, the official said.

No offence has been registered so far in this connection, an official from Pundalik Nagar police station said.
