RBI receives a bomb threat

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) received a bomb threat email on Friday, 13 Dec targeting its Mumbai office. Written in Russian, the email was sent to the official ID of RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra.

 

Mumbai Police promptly registered a case under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and began an investigation.

 

According to Zone 1 DCP, Mumbai Police, “A threatening email was received on the official website of Reserve Bank of India. The email, in the Russian language, warned of plans to blow up the bank. A case has been registered against unknown accused at Mata RamabaiAmbedkar Marg (MRA Marg) police station.”  

The incident occurred just days after Sanjay Malhotra assumed office as the 26th Governor of the RBI, succeeding Shaktikanta Das, who recently completed his six-year tenure. Malhotra, an IAS officer from the Rajasthan cadre, was appointed by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

On the same day, 16 private schools in Delhi also received bomb threats, prompting a multi-agency search of their premises. Schools such as Delhi Public School in East of Kailash, Salwan School, Modern School, and Cambridge School were among the targets.
