Dubai: Mumbai police were put on high alert after a fresh bomb threat targeted Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan's Juhu bungalow, Jalsa, along with the Mayor's Office and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport.
According to a report on NDTV, bomb disposal squads and security teams searched the locations named in the threatening email, but found nothing suspicious.
The latest scare is part of a string of threatening messages that have kept security agencies on their toes. On November 6, Bachchan's residence was named in another bomb threat, prompting police to inspect the property. An earlier email on October 23 had threatened explosions at the Mayor's Office, Bachchan's bungalow and the venue of singer Diljit Dosanjh's November 27 Mumbai concert at Mahalaxmi Racecourse.
That message also threatened a grenade attack on a school and referred to possible violence at Bachchan's residence between October 31 and November 27. Subsequent emails reportedly named the Bombay High Court and Bombay Stock Exchange.
The repeated threats have also cast a shadow over Bachchan's famous Sunday ritual of greeting fans outside Jalsa. During a recent appearance, the veteran actor waved to admirers from behind a transparent bulletproof shield, with his son Abhishek Bachchan and security personnel nearby. He later resumed the interaction without the barrier.
