A parcel that suddenly started ticking spread alarm at a post office in South Delhi on Saturday afternoon.
Opened by the Bomb Disposal Squad, the item in the parcel turned out to be a toy.
According to the police, the sender mentioned on the parcel feigned ignorance about the toy, and the person to whom it was addressed was out of town.
A police officer said the parcel was addressed to one Harish Kumar of Trilokpuri, East Delhi. The sender was one ‘Dolphin’ company.
A man had dropped the package at Lajpat Nagar-III post office at 1.55 pm. After a while, the package started ticking and a staff member informed seniors.
“Post master Ved Prakash inspected the package and called up Dolphin Company,” a senior police officer said. “Officials from the company told Prakash they had not sent it. This triggered panic in the post office and Prakash called the Police Control Room at 4.09 pm.”
