Chandigarh: Officials at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) stadium in neighbouring Mohali went through anxious moments on Sunday after a caller told the police a bomb had been placed at the venue of the March 30 India-Pakistan World Cup semifinal. The calls turned out to be a hoax, police said.
Four calls were made from a mobile phone number to the police control rooms in Mohali. "We have traced the address of the caller. It is in a slum rehabilitation colony in Palsora town here but now nobody lives there. We have made a special team to nab the accused by ascertaining the location of the mobile phone tower," Neeraj Sarna, inspector in Chandigarh cyber crime cell, told IANS.
"Four calls were made to Chandigarh and Mohali police controls room from the same number. We would arrest the accused very soon," he said.
India and Pakistan will play at the PCA stadium at Mohali on Wednesday. Both the teams are staying at the Taj Hotel. The Indian team practised at the PCA stadium on Sunday.
