On March 17, St Xavier’s College located in Mahim, Mumbai, received a bomb threat, according to authorities. The Mumbai Police confirmed that a threat was reported, but initial investigations found no suspicious items on the premises. They consider this incident to be likely a hoax. Appropriate measures are being undertaken as police continue their investigations.

Recent Threats in the City

This event occurs amidst a spate of bomb threats that have triggered alarm across Mumbai earlier in the same week. On March 16, multiple locations in the city, including the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), Vidhan Bhawan, and the High Court, received threatening emails. Security personnel, including Bomb Disposal Squad teams, have been deployed to these sites to ensure safety and investigate the threats further.

Security Measures in Place

In light of the recent threats, the Mumbai Police indicated that adequate security protocols are being established across affected areas. Necessary legal actions are being taken at the concerned police stations to address the situation effectively. The police have reassured the public that their safety remains a priority during these unsettling times.

Previous Incidents

Panic was also caused on March 8, when a hospital in Mumbai received an email bomb threat that warned of an impending “LED blast.” This alert triggered significant anxiety among patients and hospital staff. The Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad promptly conducted a thorough search of the facility but ultimately found no evidence supporting the threat.
