Lahore, Oct. 16 : Lahore Police has received many hoax calls claiming terrorist attacks in different parts of the city.

Five minutes later, Rescue 15 police received another call from an unidentified person, who claimed another attack had been launched near the Civil Lines Police Station, the Daily Times reports.
