A twelve-year-old recently caused ruckus in Karnataka by giving a prank call to Railway helpline number and relaying fake bomb threat information to delay the train. The minor took this action to apparently complete an ongoing PUBG Mobile game with his friend.
This incident took place in Karnataka on Wednesday afternoon on 30th March when the minor was engaged in playing PUBG Mobile with his friend.
His classmate friend and PUBG teammate had to board a train so the alleged kid called Railway Police Helpline and informed them that a bomb is placed at Yelahanka Railway Station.
According to the report by Tatva India, the station was sealed immediately and scanned by Railway Protection Force, anti-sabotage squad and dog squad. After the check, it was established that the call was apparently a prank.
Immediately afterwards, Railway authorities tried to contact the number which was then switched off. After tracking the number, the officials were able to reach the parents of the alleged minor.
The minor was later counseled by some officials by visiting his residence and his parents were also called in at the police station for giving counsel advice. No action has been taken against the culprit for being a 12-year-old buy, according to the sources.
These types of incidents have caused inconvenience to masses in the past as well and due to this recent fake bomb threat, all the scheduled trains were delayed by 90 minutes as well.
