Bomb threat inside Delhi High Court proves out to be a prank

New Delhi: The premises of the Delhi high court has been opened again for the vehicles, visitors and the lawyers after it was found that the bomb threat received by the police, on Thursday, was a hoax.

The Delhi police is on a look out for the caller who gave false report and created panic in the entire city. The phone of the caller is, however, switched off.

Earlier, in the day, a bomb threat was received by the police, inside the Delhi High Court premises, following which the city has been put on high alert.

The SWAT team, fire tenders and bomb squads have been immediately deployed and the area had been cordoned off by the Delhi police to avoid any untoward situation. The court complex hasn't been placed under the lock down now.

It is to be recalled that an explosion had went off in the Delhi High court earlier in 2010 after which additional layers of security were added at the building.
