This threat was received via email. The sender of the email claimed that bombs have been planted under beds and in bathrooms in hospitals. When the police investigated the BMC headquarters, nothing suspicious was found.

In June itself, a bomb threat was made to a hospital in Mira Road, Mumbai. After this, the police had barricaded the area. Apart from Mumbai, bomb threat emails/calls were received in Delhi, Bihar, UP and some other states in the past few days.
