KATHMANDU, Nov 21: The hoax calls made to the Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday have been tracked down to New Road-based Arshi Photo Studio and Swayambhu Medical Stores.  

 “We have initiated an investigation based on the phone calls we received about bomb threat. The phone calls had been made from New Road based Arshi Photo Studio and Swayambhu Medical Stores,” said a security personnel requesting anonymity.

All the hearings were halted in the Supreme Court following the bomb-threat message.

“All the hearings were halted after we received messages that the bombs had been kept on the Supreme Court premises,” said Narayan Panthi, spokesperson of the SC.

A bomb disposal team has come out of the SC after concluding that it was a hoax call.
