In Mumbai, there has been a growing concern over the recent surge of bomb threats being made online. The latest target is the Reserve Bank of India, which has just received a threatening email in a language that appears to be Russian. This is the second time in a month that the Central Bank has been targeted in such a manner.
The email, which was sent through the official website of the Central Bank, arrived on a Thursday afternoon and warned of a potential explosion in the building. The sender remains unknown and a case has been registered at the local police station, Mata Ramabai Marg. The authorities are taking this threat seriously and are actively investigating to identify the person responsible.
This is not the first time that the Reserve Bank of India has been targeted with a bomb threat. Just last month, a similar incident occurred when the RBI's customer care number received a call from someone claiming to be the "CEO of Lashkar-e-Taiba". The caller even went as far as singing a song before issuing the threat. Lashkar-e-Taiba is a known terror group responsible for the 2008 Mumbai attacks, one of the deadliest acts of terrorism in the country.
As soon as the call was received, the Mumbai Police were alerted and a thorough search was conducted. However, no suspicious items were found on the premises. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident and hoax bomb threats have become quite common in the country, often targeting schools and airlines.
Just yesterday, six schools in Delhi received a similar email threatening a bomb blast. The police are following their standard operating procedure and conducting thorough checks to ensure the safety of everyone involved. In a statement, the Delhi Police assured the public that they are taking these threats seriously and will not rest until the perpetrators are brought to justice.
The email also included specific dates, December 13-14, when the supposed bomb blasts would occur. It also demanded a response from the recipients or else the bombs would be detonated. This is not the first time such demands have been made. A few days ago, over 40 schools in Delhi received emails demanding a ransom and threatening multiple bomb blasts. Thankfully, no explosives were found in any of the schools, but the threats caused a significant amount of disruption.
The authorities are doing everything in their power to prevent such incidents from happening and will not tolerate these acts of terrorism. They urge the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity or information that may help in identifying the culprits. Together, we can ensure the safety and security of our communities and put an end to these senseless threats.
