March 04, 2021 11:25

Taj Mahal in Agra vacated after bomb call, which later turned out to be hoax.

"We'd received info from control room that a man called them up saying that there are discrepancies in military recruitment and he wasn't recruited. He said a bomb is kept at Taj Mahal which will explode soon. Security check is being done around Taj Mahal," Shiv Ram Yadav, SP (Protocol) Agra, said.

CISF has been alerted. The man's location was traced to Firozabad. Further investigation underway.
