•A bomb scare in Connaught Place late Wednesday night sent security forces into a tizzy after a suitcase was found in an autorickshaw that was intercepted by Delhi Police.
•An NSG team rushed to the site and carried out a controlled explosion to scan the suitcase in which some papers and a bottle containing a liquid were found, said police. Later, they ruled out the presence of any explosive in the suitcase.
•Senior police officers said that from the driver's description, the men seemed to be Africans. According to earlier reports, electronic safes were also found but police didn't open them instantly suspecting them to be explosive devices. The auto was taken to a vacant plot on Baba Kharak Singh Marg opposite state emporia. The area was cordoned off using metal barriers as a precautionary measure.
•A senior police officer said: ``The auto was intercepted as a part of routine procedure but the moment the men saw the cops they jumped out from the other side and just melted in the crowd.''
•Cops are even suspecting it to be a case of drug smuggling and black dollar scam.
