Bomb scare at Delhi educational institution

New Delhi, (IANS) Panic gripped the students and staff of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan (BVB) in central Delhi Monday after a caller said a bomb had been planted in the institution. The call turned out to be a hoax but a fake explosive device was seized during a search, police said.

After the BVB authorities informed police, a bomb disposal combed the institution but no explosive was detected. A fake device was found on the wall beside the main entrance of the educational institution.
