Mumbai Bomb Threat: Astrologer's History of Disputes
Ashwini Kumar, a 51-year-old astrologer from Noida, was arrested for sending a fake bomb threat to Mumbai police.
Kumar allegedly sent the message, claiming 34 'human bombs' with explosives would attack the city, to frame Firoz, whom he blamed for his previous arrest.
In 2023, Firoz had accused Kumar of cheating him out of over Rs 15 lakh, leading to Kumar's arrest.
Despite initially being denied bail, Kumar was later granted bail by the Patna High Court in March 2024.

The threat was sent to Mumbai Police via WhatsApp.
