Overview
- On Friday around 4:45 p.m., a red bag at the CSMT bus depot prompted an evacuation as BDDS teams inspected the site and found only clothes and papers.
- Bus movement at CSMT was halted during checks and resumed shortly after officials declared the alert a hoax.
- On Saturday at Andheri’s Gundavali metro station, a black bag near the ticket counter triggered cordons and an evacuation before BDDS found no suspicious items.
- Checks at Gundavali included sniffer dogs and metal detectors, and officials reported contents such as documents, books and clothes.
- The precautionary responses follow a deadly blast near Delhi’s Red Fort earlier in the week, with Mumbai Police intensifying security checks and urging the public to report suspicious objects.
