Statewide threat
Similar threats to several courts across Maharashtra
Emails threatening bomb blasts were also sent to several district and sessions courts across Maharashtra on Monday.

The searches were conducted by the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS), which thoroughly investigated the premises.
Safety
Bachchan installs bulletproof glass for safety
Every Sunday evening, for decades, Amitabh Bachchan has stepped outside his Mumbai home to greet the hundreds of fans gathered there.
On November 1, the 84-year-old kept up the ritual, but this time behind a transparent bulletproof glass enclosure around the platform.
This comes after Tiger Shroff was shot at in October. While the actor was unharmed, his driver and a vlogger were injured.
