As per the reports from Indian news agencies, the Nagpur Police Control Room received a warning call from the person introduced as Katke, earlier this week, and the person claimed that 25 men with guns and weapons are planted outside the house of Joshi.

The person on call mentioned that he overheard some people planning dangerous activities in the metropolitan.

For the uninitiated, the same unknown caller [Katke] called the control and threatened to blow up the houses of Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani and veteran actors Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra on Tuesday.

Reportedly, he rang Nagpur City Police and claimed that bombs were planted near the properties of the aforementioned celebrities in the metropolitan. The cops immediately alerted the Mumbai Police in the matter, who later forwarded the orders to the local police of Juhu, Vile-Parle, and Gamdevi – the suburbs where the residences of Bachchan, Ambani and Dharmendra are located.
