3-hr search at school after bomb hoax
Kolkata: An email threatening that bombs were planted at a reputable south Kolkata English medium girls' school on Thursday morning led cops to rush to the school to carry out searches. The threat was declared a hoax after the search, which lasted over three hours. The police team, comprising the bomb squad of the detective department and the Shakespeare Sarani Police, claimed they did not carry out any evacuation to avoid panic. "We went from class to class and completed the necessary search," said a police officer. Both the Kolkata Police Special Task Force and the detective department began an investigation into the origin of the email. Joint CP (Crime & Traffic) Rupesh Kumar confirmed the threat mail but refused to share the police response to the same. The principal of the school said: "I got an email at 6 am and informed my seniors. They asked me to inform Shakespeare Sarani PS. The police came immediately, and the bomb squad was there along with sniffer dogs. They did a thorough combing exercise, and everything was over by 1 pm. Nothing was found, and no classes got disrupted."
