Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde received a third bomb threat email on Friday, warning of explosions at schools, the Metro network, the Bombay Stock Exchange and her own office before Independence Day. The message carried pro-Khalistan slogans and, according to Times Now, specifically named Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis as targets. It also gave precise timings for attacks, including 3:11 PM at the Mayor's office. Mumbai Police have launched a cyber investigation to trace the email's origin and sender. Two similar threats had been sent to the Mayor earlier.
