On Sept 5, Mumbai Police received a call from a woman who claimed that there was a bomb on Nepency Road, Colaba and sought help from the police. Police sources say that the same woman has called the police control 38 times so far and informed about the bomb. The police was still working on the information given by this caller when at the same time another caller called the control room and informed that a bomb had been planted in Kamathipura street number 12.
