In a swift operation, Mumbai Police arrested 28-year-old Saurav Biswas from West Bengal’s 24 Parganas district, ending a wave of terror via fake bomb threats. Biswas bombarded over 50 targets across multiple states—including Mumbai’s educational institutions, stock exchanges, metro hubs, Delhi landmarks, and Gujarat spots—with ominous emails in just five days, sparking widespread alarm.
The frenzy ignited February 27 morning with a chilling email promising blasts at Mumbai schools and metros imminently. Panic rippled through security circles, prompting Dindoshi station to file an FIR and deploy cyber sleuths. Email forensics pinpointed Biswas in New Barrackpore, leading a special team straight to his doorstep.
Shocking revelations emerged: Biswas had a history, having emailed hoax threats to Ahmedabad on February 16. Local cyber cops there had registered the complaint and held him briefly on March 1 before Mumbai claimed custody. Now under rigorous grilling, Biswas faces questions on his motives—mere prank or orchestrated plot?
This bust highlights vulnerabilities in online threat dissemination and the efficiency of inter-state police coordination. As the nation breathes easier, officials vow to unearth any accomplices, reinforcing that such disruptions will face zero tolerance. The full scope of his activities remains under scrutiny.
