A man identified as Ashwani Kumar was apprehended in Noida for allegedly sending a threatening message to Mumbai Police.
The message claimed that 14 terrorists had entered the city with 400 kg of RDX.
The arrest took place after Mumbai Police received the threat on Thursday, which was traced back to Noida, prompting Sector 113 police to launch an operation.
Despite his detention, authorities have yet to determine the motive behind Kumar’s hoax. Investigations continue as officials seek to understand the reason for such a serious false alarm.
