Unattended bag creates security scare in Pathankot

PATHANKOT: An unattended bag was found lying near Dalhousie chowk here today, triggering a security scare.

However, after checking the bag, the police found that it contained batteries.

"A bag containing some batteries was left at Dalhousie chowk by a local trader after he had a fight with someone," Senior Superintendent of Police ( SSP) Vivek Sheel Soni said.

The person who left the bag was detained, he said, adding that there was no terror angle behind the incident.

Pathankot had hogged limelight after a terror attack on the air force base here in 2016 in which seven security personnel were killed.
