The Borivli police have arrested the 58-year-old chairman of a Gorai housing society, Bhushan Narayan Palkar, for falsely claiming that terrorists had entered the society’s premises. Upon receiving the information, a significant number of police teams swiftly arrived at the scene early on Sunday morning as additional reinforcement had been sought.

After effectively cordoning off the society from all sides, the police restricted public access to the premises and an adjoining road.
