Car with Pakistan sticker sparks panic

By IANS,

Kolkata : A car abandoned in central Kolkata with a Pakistan marking on it sparked tension in the area Sunday, forcing the police to break its window panes to see if there was a bomb inside.

According to police, the car was parked near the Indian Museum on the Jawaharlal Nehru Road since Saturday night.

Panicky shopkeepers alerted the police when they found the Toyota Land Cruiser parked at the same spot Sunday morning too.

Policemen broke open the window panes, only to find a driving licence, documents, books and articles of daily use. An officer said the car owner was an Oxford University student, Alexander Henry Parcel.

“Maybe, he had gone to Pakistan sometime back and hired the car there and brought it to India. He has all the proper documents,” the officer said.
