Guwahati: Guwahati was in a state of heightened tension due to a suspected bomb-filled suitcase on Wednesday night.
According to reports, the incident took place at Zoo Road where a bag was believed to have been abandoned on the Sundarpur sidewalk for a number of days.
The city police increased security in the area starting at 11 p.m. and conducted a bomb squad and sniffer dog search after the incident.
The Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Surjeet Singh Panesar was also present in the spot.
A rescue van assisted in transporting the bag around 3.30 pm to the Home Guard Training Center in Panikhaiti.

Media persons were not allowed to enter in the training centre.
