Ghaziabad school evacuated after bomb threat

Ghaziabad: A private school in Ghaziabad was evacuated on Tuesday after an unknown caller claimed that a bomb was planted in the school.

The threat call left authorities at Chhabil Das Public School in Patel Nagar in a tizzy and they ordered an immediate evacuation of the school premises.

Acting swiftly, the police cordoned off the school and a through search, with help of the bomb squad, was conducted.

Ghaziabad SP Salman Taj Patil said that the hoax call had come from a BSNL landline phone and efforts are being made to trace the caller.
