MUMBAI ON HIGH ALERT: BOMB THREAT TO MAYOR’S OFFICE, AMITABH BACHCHAN’S JALSA AND DILJIT DOSANJH’S CONCERT

MUMBAI:

Mumbai has received another series of bomb threats, with an email threatening to blow up the *Mumbai Mayor’s office*, Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan’s bungalow Jalsa* and Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh’s concert venue* in the city.

The threat has put Mumbai Police, Crime Branch, ATS and Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) on high alert.

 WHAT THE THREAT EMAIL SAYS

According to the threat email, the sender threatened to carry out a bomb attack at the Mayor’s office and repeated an earlier threat targeting Amitabh Bachchan’s residence, Jalsa.

The email also claimed that a vehicle carrying an iPhone bomb would be used to target Diljit Dosanjh’s concert scheduled to take place in Mumbai.

The exact wording of the email has not been released by police to avoid panic, but sources say the sender used threatening language and demanded immediate attention.

This is not the first time Jalsa has been targeted. In recent weeks, Mumbai has seen a wave of hoax bomb threats to schools, airports, hotels, and celebrity homes  most of which turned out to be false.

Police are investigating whether this email is linked to the same sender or a copycat.
