Mumbai Police has been on high alert after receiving a bomb threat from an unidentified caller on Friday night.
As per Zee News, the caller had claimed of placing bombs at Amitabh Bachchan’s bungalow in Juhu and 3 railway stations in Mumbai.
“Police Control Room received a phone call last night, threatening that bombs have been placed at four locations across Mumbai. They said the bombs have been placed at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT), Dadar, and Byculla railway stations, as well as at the residence of actor Amitabh Bachchan,” the police official stated.
According to ETimes, security has now been doubled at Big B’s bungalow.
However, the threat turns out to be a hoax call. As Live Mint reported, an official revealed that 2 people have apparently been detained by the Crime Intelligence Unit (CIU) of Mumbai Police’s Crime Branch on Saturday in connection with the case.
“The caller, who is one of the detainees, is a truck driver,” the official said.
