Bomb Threat At Bombay Stock Exchange Triggers Security Sweep; No Explosives Found
Mumbai, July 15, 2025: The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) was placed under high alert on Tuesday morning after receiving an email warning that four RDX IED bombs had been planted in its tower building and would detonate at 3 PM.
The threat email, sent from an ID bearing the name “Comrade Pinarayi Vijayan,” prompted immediate action from BSE officials, who alerted Mumbai Police. Bomb squad teams, along with local police units, rushed to the scene and conducted a thorough search of the premises.
“Nothing suspicious was found during the inspection,” Mumbai Police confirmed in a statement to ANI.
A case has been registered at the Mata Ramabai Ambedkar Marg Police Station against an unidentified individual under sections 351(1)(b), 353(2), 351(3), and 351(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Cybercrime experts have joined the investigation to trace the origin of the email.
This incident follows a similar bomb threat received a day earlier by the Golden Temple in Amritsar, which also led to heightened security and a police investigation.
