Bomb scare at Secretariat
A bomb scare prompted the police to conduct a search inside the Secretariat for three hours on Wednesday night, but in vain.
They picked up 12 people who were released later on confirmation of their identities.
The Special Branch (SB) of Police went on operation from 10:30pm to search for bombs and other unwanted elements but did not find any explosives.
They picked up 12 people as they were staying inside the Secretariat without any prior permission.
The SB later handed over them to an official of the home ministry. Later, owners of different canteens inside the Secretariat identified them as canteen boys.
They were set free in the evening, an official of the SB said.
During the routine check yesterday, police picked up 17 people while they were trying to enter the Secretariat without passes.
