Jitesh Thakur is accused of allegedly calling the Maharashtra police control center on January 6 and threatening to blow up many spots in Mumbai, including Mannat in Bandra.
As per reports, an unknown caller threatened to blow up several locations in Mumbai, including Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT), Kurla railway station, and a gurdwara in neighbouring Navi Mumbai, with nuclear weapons, according to Mumbai police. He has been charged under sections 182, 505, and 506 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
CSP Alok Sharma, according to Lehren, said ina a statement, “We received a call from the Maharashtra police saying that a call claiming to carry terrorist attacks was made from Jabalpur. They sought our help in arresting the man. We have picked him up and have booked him under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code”.
Sharma also said, “He does not have any motive. He often gets drunk and then makes these calls. We found out that his married life has not been going smooth because of which he has been disturbed lately”.
Jabalpur’s Additional Superintendent of Police Gopal Khandel spoke to a tabloid stating that Maharashtra police shared a mobile number via which the offender was apprehended.
