Bomb Threat at Mumbai Stations Turns Out to Be Hoax
On Monday, someone named Brijesh Kumar called the police to say that three people were planning to blow up two busy train stations in Mumbai called Kalyan and Mumbra.
The police and other teams searched the stations very carefully but didn't find any bombs or anything dangerous.
The train stations stayed open, and people could still travel as usual.
A few days before, someone also sent a scary email to a passport office in Mumbai, but that turned out to be nothing too.
A bomb threat was reported at Kalyan and Mumbra railway stations in Mumbai.
The threat was called in by Brijesh Kumar, who overheard an alleged plan by three individuals.
A joint search operation was conducted by Thane Police, GRP, RPF, and the bomb disposal squad.
No suspicious objects or explosives were found during the search.
Daily operations at the stations continued without disruption.
