Bomb threat to BSE from 'Comrade Pinari Vijayan' turns out to be hoax

A team of the Mumbai Police and its Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) rushed to the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) highrise tower in South Mumbai and conducted a search of the premises after a BSE employee received a threat to bomb the BSE building through an email supposedly sent on Sunday by a certain Comrade 'Pinari' Vijayan, the police said.

After thorough search, the team found no 'RDX bomb' in the complex as mentioned in the threat mail proving it to be a hoax. Though the email caused anxiety among the inmates of the building, it didn't affect BSE's work a wee bit as regular operations continued without a hitch, a police official said.
