Mumbai Police have heightened security and increased vigilance across the city after receiving a serious threat.
The caller claimed that 34 vehicles carrying “human bombs” loaded with 400 kg of RDX explosives were planted in different locations, warning of blasts strong enough to “shake the entire city.”
The threat reportedly came from an organization named Lashkar-e-Jihadi on the eve of Anant Chaturdashi, a time when millions gather for Ganesh idol immersion events starting Friday.
