A mock drill was conducted at the Supreme Court here on Sunday to check the preparedness of security agencies in case of a terror strike at the prominent building.

As part of the drill, a security alarm was raised after an ‘unidentified bag’ was found at the entry gate of the apex court, which was followed by mock cross-firing at the exit gate, a senior police official said.

Various agencies participated in the exercise.

Delhi Police and other security agencies conduct such mock exercises on a routine basis to check their preparedness against possible terror strikes.
