Mumbai woke up to another bomb scare on Thursday after threat emails targeting a Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) office and two Punjab National Bank (PNB) branches in Zaveri Bazar, and Marine Lines triggered security checks. The threats turned out to be hoaxes.

The emails, received on Thursday, claimed that explosives had been planted at all three locations. Local police rushed to the spots and thoroughly searched the premises. Nothing suspicious was found, and the threats were declared hoaxes, police officials said.
