Mumbai on High Alert: Bomb Threat Targets Airport, Bachchan's Home
12 Nov
Summary
- Mumbai received a bomb threat email targeting the airport and Amitabh Bachchan's home.
- The threat mentioned Khalistan and a group called 'Khalistan National Army'.
- This follows a similar threat received by the Mumbai Mayor last month.
Authorities in Mumbai were placed on high alert on Thursday after an email threatened bomb blasts at multiple city locations. The threats included Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, the mayor's office, and Amitabh Bachchan's Juhu bungalow, Jalsa. The email, sent from a Gmail account, also targeted a Punjab National Bank branch and referenced specific dates in November and December.
The sender also made references to Khalistan and an organization named 'Khalistan National Army.' The authenticity of the threats and the sender's identity remain under investigation by authorities.
This alert follows a similar incident last month when the Mumbai Mayor received a threat email. That message also targeted Bachchan's residence and mentioned a concert venue, leading to increased security. The recent threat comes amid heightened attention on security at Bachchan's home, where he recently greeted fans from behind bulletproof glass.
Security measures have been intensified at the airport, the mayor's office, and Bachchan's residence. Investigations are ongoing to identify the sender and ascertain the credibility of the threats.
