'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah' fame lead star Dilip Joshi received a threat call that the television star's house will be surrounded by 25 men. The news about this threat call comes days after superstar veteran actors Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra also received the same bomb threat call from an unidentified caller.
According to a report in India Today, the call was made to Nagpur Control Room on February 1 which informed the police about the details of the call stating 25 people with loaded weapons and guns will be stacked outside the residence of the actor.
The report stated that the unidentified caller named himself Katke and forwarded a threat that 25 people will be deployed outside Dilip Joshi's house. The report mentioned, "It was the same call where the caller threatened that Mukesh Ambani, Amitabh Bachchan, and Dharmendra's residences would also be bombed."
The control room quickly alerted the Shivaji Park Police Station and started their investigation immediately. The caller also claimed that he heard 25 people have now landed in Mumbai and will soon carry out the activities.
Although the number was immediately tracked down and belonged to a boy working in a SIM card company in New Delhi. However, the boy denied the allegations and claimed that the call had been made via a special app. Currently, the police are still in the process of tracking down the real caller.
On Wednesday, a report in E-Times stated that Nagpur police alerted the cops of Mumbai, who then rushed to Amitabh Bachchan's and Dharmendra's bungalows, however, no operation was conducted and nothing was found.
Meanwhile, another report from India.com says that the caller also claimed that 25 armed men have reached the area of Dadar, where they will be carrying out a terror attack.
