In Mumbai, a bomb threat call causes a scare at Amitabh Bachchan’s bungalow, threatening to blow up 3 railway stations; 2 detained.
Mumbai Police’s main control room received a call from an unidentified caller on Friday night at around 8:53 pm, in which the caller said that bombs have been placed at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT), Byculla, Dadar railway stations and at actor Amitabh Bachchan’s bungalow in Juhu, the police official said.
“After getting the call, the Government Railway Police, Railway Protection Force along with the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad, dog squads and local police personnel rushed to these locations and carried out a search operation,” per police sources.
Two people have been detained by the Crime Intelligence Unit (CIU) of Mumbai Police’s Crime Branch on Saturday in connection with the hoax bomb scare in four locations of the city. These two people are being questioned in connection with the hoax phone call, received by the Police last night, that mentioned the presence of bombs at four different locations across Mumbai,” said Police.
Mumbai Police, along with Railway police and bomb squad conducted searches in and around all four locations but no suspicious object was found.
“In the probe, it was found to be a hoax call,” added the statement. However, the incident though appears to be a hoax caused a big scar and stir in these locations.
