Bomb Scare at Mantralaya Sparks Security Alert in Mumbai

Mumbai Police are on high alert after an anonymous email warned of a bomb blast at Maharashtra's Mantralaya. The threat, which surfaced amidst India-Pakistan tensions, has prompted increased security across the city.

The email, received Monday evening at the Disaster Management Control Room, suggested a blast would occur within 48 hours, though no specific location was mentioned. A thorough search of the Mantralaya complex found no suspicious items.

The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad is actively working with police to track the email's sender using the IP address. In response, security measures have intensified at key Mumbai sites, and a case has been registered at the Marine Drive Police Station.
