It can be recalled that in February this year, unknown miscreants had made bomb threats to the Traffic Control of Mumbai Police sending the security agencies into a tizzy. The miscreants had threatened the police that bombs had been placed at six locations across Mumbai prompting a high alert.
The bomb threat was received from a number with the ISD code '+92', the country code of Pakistan. The message read that "Hamne Mumbai main 6 jagah pe bomb laga diya hai" (We have planted bombs at six locations in Mumbai).
