KARACHI, Jan 1: An improvised explosive device was defused in Orangi Town on Tuesday.
Police said a suspicious parcel was found near the Orangi Town police station in the morning.
After the discovery of the parcel, the bomb disposal unit was called for help. The BDU team defused the IED, which contained two and a half kilograms of explosives. The IED was connected with four battery cells and circuits. It was supposed to be detonated through a remote-controlled device, the police said.
There were at least two calls about presence of bombs in the Ghaggar Phatak and Shahrah-i- Noor Jehan areas, which proved hoaxes.
