A phone call Tuesday warning of a bomb at Gurgaon's Leela Hotel - located at the Ambience Mall in Sector 24 - proved to be false, officials said, adding that it had been traced to a 24-year-old autistic individual. Police said the caller had Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and was receiving treatment at a hospital in Sector 47.
Police swung into action around 11.30 am with bomb disposal and canine squads swiftly deployed. Security officials searched the premises of the mall and hotel for over 90 minutes but did not find anything suspicious.
