Bomb scare at Taj Mahal!
Rumor of a bomb at Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, on Friday sent the security personnel in high alert position.
According to the reports, a mysterious call from Madurai inquiring about a bomb being planted at the Taj Mahal on Friday is received by Kalyan Singh of Lightpura locality in Agra on his mobile phone.
When Singh asked who the caller was, the latter disconnected saying that it appeared to be a wrong number.
“The caller asked Singh whether the bomb has been planted in the Taj after informing that he had done the same in Tamil Nadu,” ADG (law and order) Brij Lal said.
Singh immediately informed the police. Brij Lal said heavy frisking was done and CISF personnel alerted as soon as they got the information.
The Tamil Nadu Police has been informed, Lal said.
Later it was found the call was made from a PCO in Madurai.
After the deadly Jaipur serial blasts, the bomb scare at Taj Mahal might be an indication of any attack in future. The tourist and the monument can be at a high risk or it can be just a mischief by some one!
