On Monday, the Mumbai Police Control Room received two separate hoax calls. The first call came in at 1pm when a 42-year-old woman from Nepean Sea Road contacted them, claiming that there was a bomb in her house. The police immediately informed the Malabar Hill police station, who discovered that the woman was suffering from a mental illness. Her medical records verified her condition.
The second call was received at 10pm, with the caller warning of a bomb blast in Kamathipura’s 12th street. The Nagpada Police were notified and conducted a thorough search in the specified area, but no explosive devices were found. The police traced the caller, identified as Dilip Rajaram Raut, a 35-year-old who had made the call out of vengeance against a sex worker in the 12th street.
Raut was found to be allegedly drunk when he made the call and was arrested immediately. This year alone, the control room has received over 40 such threatening calls, with one being a man who had claimed that two Pakistanis would blow up Taj Hotel. The police are currently investigating the matter.
