The Reserve Bank of India received a bomb threat written in Russian, prompting the Mumbai Police to initiate an investigation into the matter to ensure safety and security.

The second bomb threat in less than a month was received by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Friday.

The second bomb threat to hit the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in less than a month was allegedly sent to the bank's official website via email in Russian on Friday.

The Mumbai Police opened an investigation and registered a case against an unidentified person at the Mata Ramabai Marg (MRA Marg) police station in response to the bank's allegation.

A threatening email was found on the Reserve Bank of India's official website, according to the Zone 1 DCP of the Mumbai Police. The Russian-language email threatened to blow up the bank. At the Mata Ramabai Marg (MRA Marg) police station, a case has been filed against an unidentified suspect. An investigation into the situation is in progress.

According to sources, Mumbai Police are looking into whether the email was sent using a VPN connection to hide the true IP address and location.

Sanjay Malhotra, the 26th Governor of the Reserve Bank, took over as governor a few days after Shaktikanta Das resigned after six years in office.

The Cabinet's Appointments Committee, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, chose Malhotra, an IAS officer from the Rajasthan cadre.

In a related instance, a multi-agency check of the school grounds was conducted after at least six schools in Delhi received bomb threats via mail on Friday morning. The most recent threats follow similar emails sent to at least 44 schools on December 9. Those threats had been deemed fake by the police.
