A 50-year-old man was detained for reportedly making a bomb threat over the phone to the BMC control room on Thursday morning, according to a police officer.
The call was made at 7am and a probe found the accused indulged in the act in a fit of rage after having an argument with his neighbour, the official said. After the police was alerted, a team zeroed in on his mobile phone location to Malvani in Malad west, he said.
The man was held under various Indian Penal Code provisions for criminal intimidation through anonymous communication and other offences, the Malvani police station official said.
