Mumbai CSMT and Gundavali Bag Scares Cleared as False Alarms

BDDS inspections cleared two Mumbai bag scares during a citywide high alert.

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.
