Imagine a big train station in Mumbai where lots of people travel.
One afternoon, a red bag was found near the bus stop at the station.
Because there had been a bomb explosion in another city recently, everyone got scared and worried that it might be dangerous.
The police and a special bomb squad came to check the bag.
They made everyone move away from the area just to be safe.
After looking very carefully, they found out that the bag was not dangerous at all!
It only had some clothes and papers inside.
So, everyone could relax, and things went back to normal.
