Reserve Bank of India’s customer care service received bomb threat

The customer care service of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) received a bomb threat, with the caller claiming to be the CEO of the terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba. The threat, which was promptly reported to the authorities, has been deemed a hoax by the Mumbai Police, who have registered a case and are investigating the incident. The caller allegedly threatened to attack the RBI with a bomb.

The RBI office, located in



Bandra, was briefly placed on high alert. Mumbai Police have confirmed that the call is part of a troubling trend of hoax threats made against high-profile targets. Similar incidents have been reported recently, including threats to major actors and airports in the city. Authorities are working to trace the origin of the call and identify those responsible for making these false threats.
