BPO employee gets anonymous call to carry out blasts near Delhi for Rs2 crores

An anonymous call to a NOIDA BPO employee asking him to carry out blasts at important places in the district on Delhi's outskirts today threw authorities into a tizzy.

Police said they have intensified efforts to trace the person whom they suspect had telephoned from a telecom operator's customer care line yesterday and offered Rs2 crores to carry out the act.

Naveen Chaudhary, a resident of the district and working at a BPO in NOIDA, received the call at about 3pm yesterday, city SP JK Shahi said, adding all efforts were on to track the caller.

SSP Raghubir Lal said security arrangements have been tightened in the district in wake of the call and also due to the large number of Kanwarias (devotees of Lord Shiva) arriving here on feet from Haridwar.

Police, however, are not ruling out mischief behind the call.
