Mumbai on High Alert After Bomb Threat Targets Amitabh Bachchan’s Jalsa, Bombay High Court and BSEl

Threatening email warns of explosions at several high-profile locations, including Worli Racecourse; police launch probe to trace sender as security is tightened

Mumbai Police have sounded a high alert after a threatening email warning of planned explosions at several high-profile locations in the city, including Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan’s Juhu residence Jalsa, the Bombay High Court, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and Worli Racecourse.

The email was reportedly received by the Bombay High Court and claimed that a series of explosions would be carried out at the locations. Following the threat, Mumbai Police alerted security agencies and launched an investigation to trace the unidentified sender and establish the origin of the email.

Security agencies are examining the threat and taking precautionary measures at the locations mentioned in the message.

Amitabh Bachchan Named in Fresh Threat

This is the second recent incident in which Amitabh Bachchan's name has resurfaced in a bomb threat.

On October 22, a threatening email sent to a school in Mumbai reportedly mentioned the veteran actor. Authorities had clarified at the time that Bachchan had not received any direct threat.

The incident was followed by a change in his customary Sunday interaction with fans outside his Juhu residence. Bachchan was seen greeting visitors from behind a protective glass shield, accompanied by his son, Abhishek Bachchan.

The All Indian Cine Workers Association subsequently wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking his intervention and raising concerns over the safety of Bollywood actors and their families.

Threats in the Name of Lawrence Bishnoi Gang Raise Concern

The latest threat comes amid a series of incidents involving threats and attacks targeting members of the film industry.

On October 18, shots were reportedly fired at actor Tiger Shroff's car. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang reportedly claimed responsibility for the incident.

Actors Tusshar Kapoor and Ayushmann Khurrana also received threatening messages and audio recordings issued in the name of the gang during the same week. Police were examining the authenticity of the recordings.

Bengaluru IT Engineer Arrested in Threat Case

In connection with the threats against Tusshar Kapoor and Ayushmann Khurrana, the Mumbai Crime Branch arrested a 30-year-old IT engineer from Bengaluru on Wednesday.

The engineer is accused of sending threatening messages to the two actors. However, preliminary investigations have reportedly found no evidence establishing an official link between him and the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

The latest bomb threat has prompted another security alert across Mumbai as police investigate the email and verify the threat.
