A hoax threat call was received by the customer care department of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in Maharashtra on Sunday, reported ANI.
The Mumbai police have registered a case regarding the same and a probe is under way.
Incidents of hoax bomb threats have increased in the past one month and more and among the latest was an IndiGo flight from Nagpur to Kolkata with 187 passengers on board which was forced to make an emergency landing at the Raipur airport on Thursday morning after one of the passengers told the crew there was a "bomb" on the aircraft, officials said.
After landing at the airport in Chhattisgarh, the aeroplane was thoroughly checked by security personnel, but nothing suspicious was found. The passenger who gave false information about the presence of a "bomb" on the aircraft was later arrested, they said.
