Three arrested for bomb hoax in Mumbai
The Hindu
Police searched four sites for hours
Three persons were arrested on Saturday after a hoax call claiming that bombs had been planted at three railway stations and actor Amitabh Bachchan’s residence in the city led to futile searches lasting hours, an official said. No suspicious material was found at any of the four locations, the police spokesperson said. “Our main control room received the call around 9.45 p.m. on Friday. The caller claimed that bombs had been placed at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, and the Byculla and Dadar railway stations, and also at Amitabh Bachchan’s bungalow in Juhu,” the official said.More Related News
With the clock ticking down to the Lok Sabha election counting day on Tuesday, opposing fronts are perceptibly edgy and poised to continue the rancorous skirmishing that marked the campaign season in Kerala.
