On November 15, 2026, police and security agencies in Mumbai were placed on high alert after receiving a bomb threat against the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) railway station. The threat was made through a phone call to the 112 emergency helpline at around 6:50 p.m. The caller, identified by the number 9420112655, claimed to have planted a bomb at the CSMT station.
A dog squad and a Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) were promptly dispatched to the scene. A comprehensive search ensued across the entire railway station, concluding around 9:30 p.m. without discovering any suspicious objects or explosives. The Government Railway Police received the threat, and additional security measures were taken, including increased checks on passengers and luggage, as well as deploying a dog squad to scan for explosives.
The investigation to find the caller continues. This incident follows a series of earlier email threats targeting several Mumbai landmarks, including Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan's home, Maharashtra's Governor's office, and major transportation hubs.
