KOLKATA: Normal work in the elite Presidency College in Kolkata was disrupted for a few hours following an anonymous phone call that a bomb has been planted in the college building.
Police said a caller telephoned the college at around 10.30 am to say that a bomb has been planted in the building.
The college authorities immediately informed the police who arrived there along with a bomb squad.
Students were evacuated from the building and a thorough search carried out with the help of sniffer dogs but nothing was found, police said.
The 151-year-old college had become a hotbed of Naxalite activities in the late 1960s through the early seventies. Its students union is now held by Independent Consolidation, a Naxalite faction which defeated pro-CPM SFI in the last union elections.
