Mumbai's iconic Taj Mahal Palace Hotel witnessed a major security scare after a late-night anonymous caller claimed that underworld don Dawood Ibrahim had planted a bomb inside the hotel. Acting swiftly, Mumbai Police, bomb disposal squads, and other security agencies conducted a thorough search of the premises. After an extensive inspection, no explosive or suspicious object was found, confirming the threat to be a hoax. Authorities have launched an investigation to trace the caller using technical evidence and call records. Security remains heightened around the hotel, given its historical significance and association with the 26/11 terror attacks. (PC: X)
