Mumbai News Bomb Threat Email Targets Bhayandar Railway Station, Police Station; Security Search Finds Nothing Suspicious

Thane, October 21 - An email sent to Bhayandar Railway Station and the local police station in Maharashtra's Thane district on Wednesday instigated thorough security searches at both locations, yet no suspicious items were discovered, according to officials. The email was received at the Mira-Bhayandar, Vasai-Virar (MBVV) police headquarters.

The threat email claimed explosives had been planted at the Bhayandar railway station and Bhayandar police station, prompting an alert on Wednesday afternoon. Police, aided by a canine unit, conducted extensive searches of both sites but found no evidence of any threat. The email was attributed to the user 'Vaishali Rumde 9802' and specifically named 72-year-old Ujjwala Savarkar, a resident of Virar.

Additionally, the sender alleged that a man had claimed his wife was murdered, implicating Ujjwala Savarkar and another woman as responsible parties. The message also falsely suggested a bomb had been planted from the United States. Upon receiving the email, police swiftly initiated security checks at both Bhayandar station and the local police station, utilizing dog squads to inspect the premises.

Police questioned Ujjwala Savarkar to ascertain whether she was the sender or if her identity had been falsely utilized. She reportedly stated she had lost her mobile phone. Later that day, authorities declared the email to be a hoax, as no suspicious objects were discovered during the security checks. Police are currently investigating the email's true origin, verifying the identities and records of all individuals referenced in the message, and exploring the alleged murder claim to determine the motive behind the threat.
