Though the CRPF personnel informed the Civil Lines police about their finding, the cops reportedly pleaded their helplessness on the ground they were not equipped with a bomb disposal squad.
Such a squad is stationed in Varanasi and would take some time to reach the city, they told the CRPF personnel.
Meanwhile, Sanjay Maheshwari, a litigant from some outside district who had lost his suitcase at a PCO came over to see what was the commotion all about.
However, after seeing the same, he claimed his ownership over the abandoned suitcase. It was after he opened the suitcase that the high tension drama came to an end.
