# Bomb threat email hits Bombay HC, BSE, Bachchan’s Jalsa

2026-11-06T09:07:02+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk

Corroboration: 5 independent outlets

A bomb threat email sent to the Bombay High Court on Friday, 6 November also named the Bombay Stock Exchange, Mahalaxmi Racecourse and actor Amitabh Bachchan’s residence Jalsa. The Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad and police conducted security checks at all locations, but no suspicious object was found, according to sources cited by NDTV Profit, Livemint and Times Now. Mumbai Police are investigating the email to trace the sender. The threat comes during the High Court’s Diwali vacation, when only a vacation bench sits. Times Now noted that the same racecourse was named in a threat to the Mayor's office in October. No further details have been released.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

All five outlets report the bomb threat email identically, attributing their information to police sources or stating details are awaited. NDTV Profit, Livemint and Times Now carry the note that no suspicious object was found, while India TV and Times of India omit that clearance. Times Now adds historical context of a similar threat to the Mayor's office in October. Because the core facts are uniform wire-style reporting, the only editorial variation is omission of the all-clear finding, which slightly alters the weight given to the threat. The investigation continues, with the sender yet to be identified.
