Mumbai: 1 held for hoax bomb mail to TV channel

A 32-year-old man from Ahmedabadwas arrested for allegedly sending an email to a Mumbai-based TV channel, stating that a bomb blast would take place at a gurdwara in Ahmedabad, officials said on Saturday. The mail turned out to be a hoax.
The accused, Nilesh Parmar, “confessed” to have sent the email threat to an official of the entertainment TV channel after not getting a favourable reply for a proposed TV serial project, said DCP(Crime) Chaitanya Mandlik.
On November 2, the TV channel informed Bangur Nagar police station in Goregaon about the threatening email.
After receiving a message from Mumbai police about the threat, the Ahmedabad crime branch nabbed Parmar from his residence on Friday. PTI
