Teen held for making hoax calls about planting bombs across Mumbai

Claiming he was a terrorist, Shaikh said he had planted explosives at Filmcity, Mahim, Khar, Bandra, Santacruz and Mulund. Frantic search operations were launched in all these places but no suspicious object was found, sources in the crime branch said.

With the help of human intelligence and technical support, police nabbed Shaikh last night and during interrogation he confessed to have made the phone calls, Bhosale said. Shaikh was handed over to Azad Maidan police who placed him under arrest.
