"The object found at Mega Mart resembled a time bomb. No explosives were found by a bomb squad which arrived from Varanasi," said SP
Arvind Singh, adding it seems a handiwork of mischievous elements.
After the object was sighted, the complex was vacated and sealed, he said, adding the entire operation lasted more than three hours.
A case has been lodged against unidentified persons at the Gopiganj police station, he said.
