| (APP): A senior official said here Friday that government would track and give severe punishments to the bomb hoax telephone callers, as such acts create panic among the people and cause unrest in the country. He observed that in the wake of alarming security situation in the country, some teenagers felt pleasure in playing with the sentiments of already terrorized masses through hoax telephonic calls. It has now become a matter of routine that such hoax calls are being received to create confusion and tension among law enforcement agencies in particular and peace loving masses in general. In a recent incident, Chakwal Police arrested Naeem Abbas son of Ghulam Abbas and Mubashir Hassan for giving a hoax call to the US Embassy in Islamabad. In another incident, a student of St Mary's Academy, Rawalapindi made a call to Elite Force 1122 office, telling them that Army Public College at Humayun Road, Rawalpindi Cantt was about to explode. Later, the individual was traced and handed over to Civil Lines Police Station, Rawalpindi, the official said. The law enforcement agencies are on the look out to nab other such individual who are engaged in act of terrorizing the masses, he added. Latest technology has been put in place for hunting out the hoax callers and to give them severe punishment in accordance with the law of the land, he added. The official said a long list of such youth and other suspicious persons has been compiled and investigations are in progress. More arrests are expected soon, the official added.
