An anonymous telephone call
stating that a bomb has been planted in the Kannur-Ernakulam Inter-City Express turned out to be a hoax today.
Police, fire and rescue force and bomb squad carried out a thorough search of all the compartments of the train after halting at Vadakara station and found no explosives.
As a result, the train was delayed by nearly an hour, police said adding the call was received at Thalassery railway station.
When the train reached Kozhikode, again a search was conducted, railway sources said.
