Mumbai was placed on alert on Friday after a bomb threat email targeting the Bombay High Court, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), the Mahalaxmi Racecourse and Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan's bungalow, Jalsa, triggered security concerns across the city.
The threatening email warned of explosions at the prominent locations,
prompting Mumbai Police and other security agencies to launch an investigation and conduct thorough security checks.
Police searched the locations but found nothing suspicious. Authorities later confirmed the threat to be a hoax, according to reports. Officials are examining the email and attempting to identify the person behind it.
