Jammu, Dec 6: Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Jammu Vinod Kumar Wednesday said that a case was registered in the matter of a hoax bomb threat call, made over WhatsApp using VoIP, to a private school in the city.
“It was a WhatsApp call made over Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), which proved to be a hoax. We swiftly took all required measures. A case has been registered in this connection and now the efforts are on to trace the caller to bring him to justice. Investigation is presently underway,” SSP Jammu Vinod Kumar, while speaking to Greater Kashmir, said.
The call received by a teacher of one of the prestigious schools in Jammu city, which later proved a hoax, had created a panic this morning yet the school administration handled the situation very calmly and responsibly. The police, joined by bomb disposal and dog squads, conducted a sanitisation operation under the supervision of an SP rank officer in the school premises.
