Three individuals have been apprehended by the Mumbai Police Crime Branch for sending a bomb threat to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and two other private banks. The threat, demanding the resignation of Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das, was sent via email using the address khilafat.india@gmail.com. The accused have been identified as Mohammed Arshil Mohammed Iqbal Topala, 27, Adil Bhai Rafiq Bhai Malik, 23, and Wasimraja Abdulrazzak Memon, 35.
The email, written in all caps with spelling mistakes, was sent at 10.50 am on December 26. It read, “We have planted 11 bombs in different locations of Mumbai. RBI, along with private sector banks, has executed the biggest scam in the history of India. This scam involves RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, some of the top banking officials, and some renowned ministers of India. We have sufficient solid proofs for the same. We also demand the government to give them both and all those who are involved the punishment they deserve. If our demands are not met before 1.30 pm, all the 11 bombs will blast one by one.” The email also demanded that both the RBI governor and finance minister resign and issue a press statement with full disclosure of the scam.
