Kolkata, Feb 4 (IBNS): Kolkata Police's Special Task Force (STF) and Bomb Disposal Squad along with sniffer dogs have started a search operation at West Bengal's main administrative building Nabanna following an anonymous call on Thursday afternoon that a bomb has been planted there, police reports said.

According to police sources, someone called in a bomb threat to Nabanna around 2:30 pm. on Thursday.

After being informed, few teams of STF and Bomb Disposal Squad along with at least five sniffer dogs have rushed to the state's main administrative building and started searching the entire premise.

However, no such suspicious object has been found so far, reports said.

"Search operation here is currently underway. No suspicious object has been found so far. It might be a hoax call. We have started investigation into it to identify the caller, who made bomb threat here," one senior official of Kolkata Police's intelligence department told IBNS.
