An official said an extensive search was conducted at the mayor’s office at the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) headquarters, but nothing suspicious was found. According to the police, the threatening email was also sent to Deputy Mayor Sanjay Ghadi.
The email reportedly warned of a grenade attack on a school on October 31. It also threatened to target ‘Jalsa’, the Juhu residence of superstar Amitabh Bachchan, between October 31 and November 27.
Following the threats, security agencies launched an extensive investigation to verify the authenticity of the message, trace its origin and identify the sender. Officials are examining the email as part of efforts to establish who sent it and determine the credibility of the threats.
The email, which mentions ‘Khalistan’, also claims that an attack will take place during singer Diljit Dosanjh’s concert scheduled for November 27 in the Mahalaxmi Racecourse area.
An official further said that, as a precautionary measure, security and surveillance had been significantly strengthened at the mayor’s office, Mahalaxmi Racecourse, major educational institutions across the city and all other locations mentioned in the email.
The threats have prompted heightened vigilance across the identified locations as Mumbai Police and security agencies continue their investigation to establish the source of the email and assess the potential risks.
