As per further information, RBI’s Mumbai office has been threatened by an email from an email id Khilafat India. 11 bomb blasts were threatened at 11 places in Mumbai at 10:50 am.

The email reads “We have planted “11” bombs in different locations of Mumbai. RBI along with private sector banks have executed the biggest scam in the history of India. This scam involves RBI Governor “Shaktikanta Das”, Finance Minister “Nirmala Sitharaman”, some of the top banking officials & some renowned ministers of India. We have sufficient solid proofs for the same. Locations of “3” bombs are:

·         RBI – New Central Office Building – Fort – Mumbai
