On Thursday, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) received a bomb threat via email, which was written in Russian. The threat, sent to the RBI's official website, claimed that the bank would be blown up. Following the threat, a case was registered at the Mata Rambai Marg (MRA Marg) police station in Mumbai, and an investigation has been launched.

This incident comes after a similar threat was made to the RBI through its customer care number on November 16, with the caller claiming to be the CEO of the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Earlier in the day, six schools in Delhi also received bomb threats via email, prompting immediate responses from the fire department, police, and bomb detection teams. These teams have been dispatched to conduct safety checks at the affected schools. A similar series of bomb threat emails was received by 44 schools in Delhi on December 9, though the police later declared them as hoaxes.

The investigations into these threats are ongoing as authorities work to ensure the safety and security of the public.
