Suspicious bag causes scare in Nashik; cops find nothing alarming

An unattended bag spotted on a road in Maharashtra’s Nashik city on Sunday (November 16, 2025) morning created panic, but police later confirmed that it contained nothing suspicious.

The police received a call that a suspicious object was lying near the Indiranagar underpass, adjacent to the Mumbai-Agra national highway, in the morning, an official said.

After being alerted, the police rushed to the spot and evacuated the area. The Bomb Detection & Disposal Squad (BDDS) team, a dog squad and personnel from other agencies also reached the spot.

“We received a call that something suspicious was lying near the Indira Nagar underpass. On verification of the object, nothing suspicious was found. A birthday gift box was found. There is no need to panic. We request people not to spread any rumours,” an official from Ambad police station said.

A car blast near the Red Fort in Delhi on November 11 claimed 13 lives and injured several others, even as investigators have said more attacks were planned in four cities across the country by an interstate ‘white-collar terror’ module.
