The suspected bomb was discovered in the Jingkieng neighbourhood of Shillong’s Nongthymmai district.
Moreover, a ‘packet’ containing a suspected bomb was discovered in the toilet of the Nongthymmai sports and cultural club’s indoor stadium in Shillong’s Jingkieng, according to police in Meghalaya’s East Khasi Hills district.
The packet was reportedly spotted by a caretaker of the stadium.
Following notification of the authorities, a bomb squad was dispatched, which confirmed that the incident was a hoax.
A note with the words “Bomb inside” was also discovered pasted to the packet.
