Phone calls made on Friday night gave the Mumbai Police a scare as an unknown person claimed to have planted bombs at four locations, including major railway stations and Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan’s house. The calls led to frantic searches conducted at the said places by  the Mumbai and Railway police. Meanwhile, the Criminal Intelligence Unit (CIU) wing traced down the callers to Kalyan and found them in an inebriated state. Three callers have been arrested by the police.

On Friday night, around 8.53 pm, the Mumbai Police control room received a call about bombs being planted at Bachchan’s Juhu residence, as well as three major railway stations—Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, Dadar and Byculla. Immediately, an operation led by the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) was launched.
