Mumbai’s Nair Hospital was thrown into a security scare late on Saturday after the dean received a threatening email claiming that a bomb had been planted inside the facility. The mail, which arrived around 11 pm on the dean’s official email address, immediately triggered a red alert within the hospital. Authorities wasted no time and reached out to the Mumbai Police, who quickly cordoned off the premises. Security teams rushed to the spot to ensure patient safety while hospital staff maintained calm among visitors. The incident highlighted the growing trend of threat messages aimed at public institutions in the city.
