Panic prevailed in a Nalasopara school on Monday evening due to a bomb hoax. An unidentified person called the landline number of the Tulinj police station around 3.30 pm claiming that a bomb had been planted in the backpack of a student of Blooming Bud’s English High School in Nalasopara East.
The cops rushed to the school, evacuated everyone and checked every school bag in sight but found nothing.
