Mumbai Police Nab Duo Over Deputy CM Bomb Threats

Mumbai police arrested two individuals from Buldhana for emailing bomb threats against Deputy CM Eknath Shinde. Preliminary findings suggest the emails were mischief without a serious conspiracy. The suspects, tracked via technical analysis, are questioned over the motive behind the threats.

Mumbai police have apprehended two suspects from Maharashtra's Buldhana district in connection with emails threatening to explode Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's car. Authorities revealed that the emails were intended as mischief and were not part of any grave conspiracy.

The suspects, Mangesh Wayal, 35, and Abhay Shingne, 22, reside in Deulgaon Mahi locality. Their emails, which threatened to bomb Shinde's car, prompted First Information Reports at Goregaon and J J Marg police stations in Mumbai. The case falls under BNS sections about criminal intimidation and public mischief.

A thorough investigation led by the Mumbai crime branch identified the pair through technical means. The suspects, detained from Buldhana, are now in Goregaon Police custody, amid ongoing probes to discern their exact motives behind this misleading alarm.
