Hyderabad: Two days after the deadly twin blasts rocked Hyderabad, the city was rattled by string of hoax calls on Monday.
The hoax bombs were reported to be planted at several places, including the high-security state Secretariat complex.
The day began with an anonymous call to the police control room that a bomb may go off near Global Hospital in busy Lakdi-ka-pul locality.
A bomb squad immediately swung into action and searched the premises of the hospital.
An unclaimed suitcase found at the site was the bugbear and further searches revealed that it did not contain any explosives, police said.
However, the police were put on tenterhooks following another anonymous call that bombs have been planted inside the Secretariat complex, the headquarters of the state administration, located opposite the Lumbini park where the first bomb went off on Saturday evening.
There was panic in the Secretariat complex with employees rushing out of their office buildings. Police conducted a thorough search and later declared that it was a hoax call.
Anonymous calls also warned of bombs at the popular Paradise hotel in Secunderabad and 'Gruha Kalpa' complex, housing several government offices, at Nampally.
All the calls, however, turned out to be hoax.
