KARACHI: A bomb threat at the Supreme Court’s Karachi registry triggered heavy police and Rangers response and evacuation of the building on Friday.
The police said they received an anonymous call about a bomb having been placed at the registry. Subsequently, a heavy contingent of the police and Rangers personnel along with a bomb disposal squad reached the scene in no time, they said.
The building was evacuated and thoroughly searched with the help of metal detectors and sniffer dogs but nothing could be found.
It is possible that someone made the call for fun or to create panic, a police official said.
