Following a potential bomb threat, the security measures were intensified in Mumbai, around the Jio World Convention Centre at Bandra-Kurla Complex, where the big fat Indian wedding of the year took place over the weekend, reported Indian media outlets.

The measures were taken following a controversial social media post, by an X user, which read, “A shameless thought crept into my mind that if a bomb went off at Ambani’s wedding, half the world would turn upside down. Trillions of dollars in one pin code.”

Though the post was deemed to be a hoax, Mumbai police took immediate action after being notified by another social user and beefed up the security to ensure the safety of all the high-profile guests at the wedding.

The officials are also actively trying to identify the user behind the cryptic post.
