Faridabad: Faridabad Police have arrested two final year B Tech students of a local engineering college for giving wrong information about a bomb.

Jatin and Sunny were arrested on Sunday after police found that their SMSs to officials of the local police station were found to be false, police said.

"There was false news about a bomb in the town," IGP Shriniwas Vashisht said.

The SMSs to local police claimed that there was a bomb near Banke Behari Mandir close to NH 5 in Faridabad.

On reaching the spot, police recovered a toy bomb made of asbestos tied with a wire, police said.

The students who reportedly admitted to their offence were tracked down by police from their mobile phones used to send the SMSs.
