Bomb Threat at Bhayandar Station and Police Station Declared Hoax After Security Checks
On October 21, an email threatening to bomb Bhayandar Railway Station and a local police station in Maharashtra's Thane district prompted security checks, including dog squad deployments.

No suspicious items were found, and the threat was declared a hoax. Authorities are investigating the email's origin and the individuals mentioned to determine the motive.
