On one hand, the country is vigorously preparing for the G20 summit, while on the other hand, the police are continuously receiving calls about the threat of bomb blast. The latest case is from Mumbai where the police control room received a call to inform about bombs planted at two places in the city. After the call, there was an atmosphere of panic in the entire police department and investigation into the matter started.
This time 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.
After the news of bombs being planted in two areas of the city, the police investigated the matter and followed the SOP. However, the police did not find anything suspicious in the information given by the caller. Mumbai Police has already received calls many times informing about bombs planted in different areas of the city.

However, he could not talk to the CM and he threatened to plant a bomb in the ministry. The police immediately started a search operation to investigate the caller and took the accused into custody.
