Mumbai police are investigating a threat email sent to the Bombay High Court after searches at four named locations found no suspicious material or explosives, PTI reported Friday.
In a statement, Mumbai Police said the message named the court, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), actor Amitabh Bachchan’s Jalsa bungalow and a racecourse. The statement called the site “Worli Racecourse,” while ANI and PTI identified it as “Mahalaxmi Racecourse.”
PTI reported that police, bomb detection and disposal squads and other security teams checked all four locations. It said cyber police were examining IP information associated with the email to trace its source. Mumbai Police said the investigation was aimed at identifying who sent it.
UNI reported that the email arrived at the High Court’s official address, prompting court administrators to alert police.
In a separate report, PTI said an email sent on Oct. 23 to Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde and Deputy Mayor Sanjay Ghadi threatened the mayor’s office and a school. It also named Bachchan’s home and the venue for singer Diljit Dosanjh’s Nov. 27 concert.
