Mumbai (SunstarTV Bureau): After a hoax of bomb calls, the Mumbai police and other agencies spent hours after chasing bombs, allegedly planted at Amitabh Bachchan’s bungalow and three railway stations, an police official said.
Meanwhile, the police interrogated two people, including a truck driver, from Thane for the bomb threats call received at around 8:53 PM on Friday, said an official.
Not willing to take any chances, various crack agencies and the Mumbai Police’s Bomb Detection & Disposal Squad (BDDS), searched all the locations – Bachchan’s bungalow, and the UNESCO World Heritage site Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, Byculla and Dadar stations, all on Central Railway – but nothing was found.
The others involved in the combing operations were Anti-Terrorism Squad, Quick Response Team, Railway Protection Force, Government Railway Police and personnel of several local police stations. With the Independence Day celebrations round-the-corner security is usually tightened at all sensitive locations.
Later, the police tracked the alleged caller to Mumbra in adjoining Thane district, and nabbed truck driver. One more person was also picked up along with him and further procedures are underway.
