A bomb threat message targeting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent to the Mumbai police on Saturday, December 7, has triggered a major security alert. The WhatsApp message, which claimed a plan to carry out a bomb blast aimed at the Prime Minister, also mentioned two ISI agents allegedly involved in the plot.
The threat has been traced back to a mobile number registered in Ajmer, Rajasthan. Police and intelligence agencies are actively investigating the case. Initial findings suggest the sender may be mentally unstable or under the influence of alcohol, but officials are not ruling out any possibilities until the investigation concludes.
The message has raised concerns over security lapses, with experts noting the heightened risks associated with high-profile individuals like the Prime Minister. Law enforcement agencies are leaving no stone unturned, working closely with intelligence units to ascertain the credibility of the threat and identify those responsible.
This incident follows a similar scare in Uttar Pradesh earlier this week. Lucknow police had received bomb threats for three prominent locations, including railway and metro stations, causing panic among residents. However, after thorough investigation, the threats were deemed to be hoaxes.
Authorities have assured the public that all necessary measures are being taken to safeguard national security. The Mumbai police, in coordination with Rajasthan authorities, are focusing on tracking the sender’s movements and verifying any potential connections to larger networks.
Security agencies have urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities immediately. With recent instances of hoax threats, officials are emphasizing the need for stringent measures to address false alarms, which strain resources and could divert attention from real threats.
Prime Minister Modi’s security remains a top priority for the central government. This latest bomb threat underscores the ongoing challenges faced by security forces in preventing and responding to such incidents, especially in a climate of increasing geopolitical tensions.
As the investigation progresses, officials are expected to provide more updates on the source and validity of the threat. Meanwhile, security arrangements for the Prime Minister and key public locations across the country have been intensified.
