Guwahati: Mumbai police received a “suspicious” call from an unknown caller alleging that bombs have been installed at numerous significant locations throughout Mumbai on Wednesday.
Mumbai Police increased their level of alertness after receiving bomb threats from the unknown caller at multiple locations.
According to authorities, the strange phone call was received on the helpline number 112.
According to the police, a caller said that three bombs had been hidden in the city at the Sahara Hotel Airport, PVR Mall Juhu, and Infinity Mall Andheri. The targeted locations now have tighter security thanks to the Mumbai police. To find the unknown caller, efforts are now being made.
Earlier, a Karnataka school received a bomb threat this year in April in the midst of the continuing hijab controversy.
Following bomb threats against a few Bengaluru schools, the chief minister of Karnataka Basavaraj Bommai said on Friday that he has instructed top police officers to look into the situation and that there is a plot to disturb the calm in the state.
“A conspiracy is on to disturb peace in the state. Karnataka is a progressive State and some elements are repeatedly trying to tarnish this image. Police officials have been instructed to consider these cases seriously,” Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said to reporters.
Karnataka CM Bommai responded to bomb threat calls made to local schools by saying that police had been urged to undertake a thorough investigation. The callers who threatened to detonate a bomb will be located and detained. He promised to take actionable security and investigation steps.
“Parents need not worry,” the Chief Minister said while assuring that there is no cause for worry as far as security at schools is concerned. “Necessary precautionary measures are being taken. The parents need have any anxiety,” Bommai said.
