Eknath Shinde Threatened with Bomb Attack, Police Increase Security
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has received a bomb threat, with an anonymous person warning of a potential attack on his vehicle. The threat, which was sent via email, was directed to several locations including the Goregaon Police Station, the Mantralaya (state secretariat), and JJ Marg Police Station. The email claims that a bomb could be planted on Shinde’s vehicle, raising concerns about his safety. Although early investigations suggest the threat may be a hoax, authorities are not taking any chances. The Mumbai Police's cyber cell and intelligence teams are working to trace the email's origin and identify the sender. In response, security around Eknath Shinde has been increased, with extra police presence and surveillance measures put in place. Authorities have reassured the public that a full investigation is ongoing to determine the authenticity of the threat. The Mumbai Police have asked citizens to stay alert and report any suspicious activity as they continue their search for the person responsible. This is not the first time Eknath Shinde has recieved any death threat. In 2023, an anonymous caller contacted the Maharashtra police control room, threatening to "blow up Eknath Shinde" before abruptly hanging up. Additionally, a 19-year-old student from Pune was arrested by the Mumbai crime branch last year for issuing death threats to both Shinde and his son, MP Shrikant Shinde, through social media.
