RBI Receives Bomb Threat In 'Russian Language', Second Incident Within 15 Days; Probe On

The Mumbai police have opened an investigation into the matter, registering a case against the unknown sender at the Mata Ramabai Marg police station. Authorities are actively working to identify the individual behind the email threat. This incident follows a similar bomb threat received on November 16, where a caller, claiming to be the "CEO of Lashkar-e-Taiba," issued a threat while singing a song over the phone. The Lashkar-e-Taiba group is infamous for the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
