Bomb Scare at Sai Baba temple in Dilsukhnagar1

A bomb scare forced the management and devotees of the famed Saibaba temple in Dilsukhnagar to press the panic button.

On Monday, an unidentified caller informed Saroornagar police station that a bomb has been planted on the premises of the temple

The bomb and dog squads reached the place and evacuated the devotees to take up intensive searches.
The search was still on when the reports last came in.
Landmark Dilsukhnagar Saibaba temple has been a target of the terrorists at least thrice earlier. In 2002, a cycle bomb was placed near the temple, injuring a few persons. In 2007, a bomb was planted near the temple. However, the police managed to successfully diffuse the bomb before it exploded. Two other bombs - one at Lumbini Park and the other at Gokul Chat Bhandar - however exploded killing scores.
In 2013, two bombs exploded close to the temple - one at A1 Mirchi Bajji Centre and the other at the Venkatadri Cinema. Reports suggested that the temple was the real target, but the terrorists had to change their plans at the last moment as the then city police commissioner Anurag Sharma paid a visit to the temple and there was heavy police deployment around the temple.
