New Delhi: Two FIRs were filed after posters will slogans to boycott the Lok Sabha elections in the national capital were found on the walls at multiple points of the sprawling Delhi University campus on Thursday, police said.

All seven Lok Sabha seats in the Capital will poll in the penultimate phase on May 25.

Meanwhile, on Thursday, two colleges affiliated to the Delhi University received an anonymous call, threatening explosions, officials said, adding that upon investigation, the call was determined to be bogus.

According to the Delhi Fire Service, calls threatening explosions were received by Lady Shri Ram College and Sri Venkateswara College in the national capital.

"We received an anonymous call, threatening bomb strikes at Delhi's Lady Shri Ram College and Sri Venkateswara College. Fire tenders and Delhi Police team are at the spot," an official said.

Later, the Delhi Police informed that the calls were bogus and there was no need to worry. "Some calls were received threatening explosions in two DU colleges.

However, these calls have now been determined as bogus.

There is nothing to worry about," an officer with Delhi Police said.
