On a tip off that faceless myrmidons had planted bombs at three locations in the city, police rushed to the sites along with a bomb disposal squad and defused all three bombs.
The bombs had been planted at a school, at the Hujra of Sardar Yusuf Khan and by a roadside.
Had the bombs gone off, they would have brought massive loss of life and property, police said.
Moreover, an investigation was initiated into the matter.
