Mumbai Police have arrested 22-year-old Darvesh Rajbhar from Uttar Pradesh in connection to a bomb threat. On Thursday morning, Rajbhar had made calls to the Mumbai and Pune police helpline numbers, claiming that simultaneous explosions would occur on June 24 at Andheri and Kurla in Mumbai, as well as in Pune.
As soon as the police received these calls, they formed a special investigation team (SIT) and registered a First Information Report (FIR) at Amboli Police Station. The team, comprised of officers from Oshiwara and Amboli Police Stations, worked to trace the caller's number, leading them to the Jaunpur district in Uttar Pradesh. The police collaborated with the Newadhiya Police and apprehended Rajbhar.
Rajbhar had previously worked as a wage laborer in Mumbai, and was currently unemployed. He explained to the police that his family's financial situation had recently worsened. This had apparently motivated him to make the calls, as he had come across certain Twitter posts containing the police helpline numbers. He had then demanded Rs 2 lakh from the police, threatening them with false bomb blasts scheduled for June 24.
The police took Rajbhar to Khar Police Station for further investigation and presented him in court on Friday morning. He was remanded to police custody for four days and a case has been registered against him under sections 505, 505, and 182.
The news of Rajbhar's arrest serves as a reminder of the need for caution and vigilance. It is important to remember that if anyone ever receives a bomb threat, they must immediately inform the police.
