Smoke from a parcel containing sulfuric acid triggered panic at the General Post Office here on Wednesday, police said.
The parcel was sent from Chhindwara in Madhya Pradesh, they said.
“After a thorough investigation, it was found that the package contained sulfuric acid, which resulted in the smoke. The parcel was to be delivered to a Patna-based scientist for research work,” SSP (Patna) Rajeev Mishra told PTI.
Mishra also said it was not a case of a blast as reported by a section of the media.
“No case has been registered by the police,” the SSP added.
