This is not the first time the RBI has received a bomb threat. Last month, a similar threat was received when a call was made to the RBI’s customer care number. The caller had identified himself as the CEO of Lashkar-e-Taiba and had threatened to bomb the central bank.

Following a previous email threat, the police had investigated the matter and conducted searches but found nothing. The police had later dismissed the email threat as a hoax.  (Reserve Bank Receives Bomb Threat)
