According to sources, a person who had visited the kiosk at around 12 pm noticed a watch-type gadget and wires inside the waste bin. He alerted the locals, who then alerted the Vasco police.
After informing the bomb-disposal squad, a police team rushed to the site and cordoned off the area. A five-member BDS team removed the bin and took it to the Baina shore. After a thorough examination, they found that the claim was false.
A BDS official said, “The gadget was actually a digital timer that was earlier affixed to the electrical connections inside the ATM, but was later thrown inside the dustbin.”
