Panic struck the Presidency College campus after an anonymous call claimed on
Saturday morning that a bomb has been planted on the college premises.
The call was received at the administration office around 10.20 am in the
morning and was answered by the office head assistant. "The caller said that
there is a bomb in the campus and plans are afoot to blow the college up. I was
not there then, but my staff and colleagues called up the Jorashanko police
station to check the matter," principal Sanjib Ghosh said.
DC (DD-I), Jawed Shamim said, the police scanned and checked the college campus
thoroughly. "Officers of the bomb disposal squad rushed in with sniffer dogs and
searched for five hours," he said.
