Bomb threat calls received for Mumbai airport, CSMT; both turn out to be hoaxes, say cops
Mumbai, Jul 25 (PTI): Police on Friday received a call threatening a bomb blast at Terminal 2 of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) though a thorough check of the facility did not reveal anything suspicious, an official said.
The call, which was received at the main control room of Mumbai police this afternoon, was classified as a hoax, he said.
"Another call was also received claiming the blast would take place at 6:15pm. A probe has found both calls were made by the same person. The process of registering a case is underway," the official said.
The control room of the railway police too received a call threatening a blast at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, though this too turned out to be a hoax after a round of intensive checking by the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) and canine squad, another official said.

Afzalpur: KSRTC bus veers off road into field, no injuries reported
Afzalpur: A KSRTC bus veered off the road into a field near RMS School in Atanur village today. No injuries were reported.
The bus was travelling from Afzalpur to Kalaburagi when the incident occurred. The driver managed to bring the vehicle under control and safely stop it, preventing any damage or injuries.
According to Transport Unit Manager A.V. Bhovi, the road at the spot was narrow and there was a risk from an oncoming vehicle.
“The driver steered the bus to the side as a precaution. No damage was caused, and there is no need for the public to panic,” he said.
