Pune: The Faraskhana police on Thursday filed a case against a 20-year-old youth for making a hoax call to the police, claiming a possible armed attack on him on Tuesday. The youth, a casual worker, called the city police control room and said that 30-40 men armed with swords and liquor bottles might attack him in front of PMC's Kamla Nehru Hospital in Mangalwar Peth around 10pm on Aug 27. The call turned out to be a hoax as the police did not find any person with sharp weapons and liquor bottles.
The caller’s details were traced and he was later on taken into custody from Mangalwar Peth. “He told the police that he had made the phone call in an inebriated state,” senior inspector Prashant Bhasme said. A notice was served to the worker asking him to join the police in investigations because he was booked under a bailable offence, Bhasme added.
