In yet another bomb hoax threat at a private school in Amritsar, the police have found the role of a student to get a mathematics exam postponed.
The school was threatened that it would be blown up on September 16. The source of the threat message was traced to the mobile phone of a student's father, police said.
A case was registered for criminal intimidation and under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the IT Act.
"The child planned this entire drama to get a math exam cancelled. One person has been arrested and another detained in this connection," said Deputy Commissioner of Police MS Bhullar.
He also appealed to the parents who have bought their children smartphones must keep an eye on their activities.
This is the second such incident reported in a week in Amritsar, creating panic and tension in the city. A top school in the city had reported a bomb threat on September 7, which was later found to be a mischief by three of its students.
The incident, however, put the police on high alert and midnight searches were carried out.
