Mumbai Mayor Receives Bomb Threat Email Ahead of Independence Day; Police Investigate
Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde received a bomb threat email warning of explosions targeting her office, Mumbai Metro, schools, and the stock market before Independence Day on August 15. The email included pro-Khalistan slogans and named individuals, prompting Mumbai Police and cyber units to investigate and trace the sender.
