Mumbai, November 12: A bomb threat has once again shaken Mumbai, the financial capital of India. An email threat has been sent, targeting Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan’s residence, Jalsa, along with the Mayor’s office, the airport, and several banks and courts. This alarming threat has put security agencies on high alert, leading to intensified investigations at the mentioned locations.

The authenticity of the threats and the true identity of the email sender have yet to be determined.
Email Received by PNB Officials
Sources indicate that a threatening email received at 10:52 AM on November 12 has raised security concerns in Mumbai. The email, sent from the address ‘reduak079@gmail.com’, was directed at officials from Punjab National Bank (PNB) in Mumbai, including ZO Mumbai, LCB Mumbai at Cuffe Parade, and BO Zaveri Bazaar. The message warned of multiple bomb blasts and attacks across the city. The email also referenced the municipal corporation, prompting heightened security measures in the area.
Name of Khalistan National Army Mentioned in Email
The email bore the name “Khalistan National Army,” listing individuals such as Engineer Guranakh Singh, Rukan Shahwala, and Dr. Gurnirver Singh Khan Rajada. It contained various threats, including a warning of a bomb blast at a branch of Punjab National Bank in Mumbai at 1:11 PM. Additionally, it threatened to bomb Chhatrapati Shivaji Airport at 9:11 PM and mentioned a ‘Daljit Bomb iPhone blast’ at Mahalaxmi Stadium.
Threat to Diljit Dosanjh Also Issued
Moreover, the email warned of a potential attack on Amitabh Bachchan (‘car bomb attack on Bachchan’s Jalsa’) and singer Diljit Dosanjh, advising people to avoid their upcoming shows. The message included threats targeting a court at 2:11 PM and the Mayor’s office at 3:11 PM.

Previous Threats to Big B
This new threat comes at a time when additional security measures have been implemented outside Amitabh Bachchan’s Juhu residence, Jalsa. On November 1, Bachchan met fans outside his home while standing inside a transparent security enclosure, which was set up as an extra precaution. His son, actor Abhishek Bachchan, was also present, along with security personnel. These additional measures were prompted by an email received by Mumbai police in October, which threatened to bomb Bachchan’s residence. This threatening email was sent to a school in the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) area, leading to an investigation by the police. It is noteworthy that Amitabh Bachchan meets his fans every Sunday outside his Juhu home, where they gather to see him.
