Kolkata, Feb 4 (IBNS): The Anti Rowdy Squad of Kolkata Police arrested a 35-year-old computer repair technician on Thursday evening in connection to a hoax bomb threat that caused a scare at West Bengal's main administrative building Nabanna, reports said.
According to police reports, computer repair technician Biswajit Saha, who is a resident of Ananda Pally under Regent Park Police Station area in Kolkata, was nabbed from somewhere in the central part of the city.
 
"After tracing the threat-caller's number, we held one computer repair technician Biswajit Saha from central Kolkata. We are interrogating him to know why did he make the hoax call," one senior official of Kolkata Police told IBNS.
 
Around 2:40 pm. on Thursday, an anonymous person called in a bomb threat to Nabanna, which triggered a scare.
 
Kolkata Police's Special Task Force (STF) and Bomb Disposal Squad along with sniffer dogs rushed to the spot. After an hour-long search operation, police confirmed that no suspicious object was found from the administrative facility.
 
After the threat-call, security at the Nabanna premise has been beefed up, police official said.
 
However, the booked person will be produced to the Bankshall Court in Kolkata on Friday.
