An anonymous letter and telephone calls about bomb threats delayed two important trains in Haryana and Maharashtra and led to search of a station in Gujarat and a hospital in Haryana on Thursday. The Mumbai-Pune Deccan Queen Express was halted at Kalyan railway station in Thane district for over an hour after an anonymous caller claimed a bomb had been planted on it, but a search by police revealed it was a hoax.

Another bomb scare delayed Amritsar-Mumbai Dadar Express by more than 45 minutes at Panipat station in Haryana in the evening and after a search it turned out to be a hoax. A letter claiming that a bomb had been placed inside the bathroom of Karnal Civil Hospital prompted Haryana Police to search the hospital thoroughly but nothing was found. The letter was recovered from hospital's dustbin and its writer said that he wanted to place the bomb in Dadar Express but as he could not do it, he kept it in the bathroom of the hospital.

Authorities searched Surat railway station after an anonymous call said that a bomb was being planted at the station. It, however, turned out to be hoax as no explosive was found.
