Police and security agencies in Mumbai were placed on high alert on Saturday after a bomb threat was made against the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) railway station. According to reports from the Free Press Journal and Times Now, the threat was received via the 112 emergency helpline at approximately 6:50 pm.
A dog squad and the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) were deployed to the station to conduct an intensive search. Security teams inspected platforms, foot overbridges, trains, and the parcel area. The operation, which lasted nearly three hours, concluded around 9:30 pm with no suspicious materials or unclaimed objects discovered.
