New Delhi:
Five days after a low intensity bomb went off near the Delhi High
Court complex, a bag contained wires and batteries was found
outside a Delhi University college Monday, police said.
Officials said the bag also had powder used to make firecrackers
but added that the contents could not have exploded.
The discovery of the bag at a bus stop outside Gargi College, an
all-women's college in south Delhi, just after noon triggered
panic in the area.
"It appears to be some sort of prank by somebody," said Joint
Commissioner of Police Amulya Patnaik.
A police officer said the wires and batteries were not connected.
There was no circuit that could have triggered an explosion.
The bomb disposal squad, a dog squad and Delhi Police teams
examined the spot -- and the bag.
The latest incident came five days after a crude bomb went off at
the parking lot of the Delhi High Court. No one was injured in the
incident.
