The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) received a threatening email on Tuesday morning. The message claimed that four RDX bombs were planted inside the BSE tower and would explode at 3 PM. Interestingly, the email came from an account named "Comrade Pinarayi Vijayan."

Police Respond Swiftly to Bomb Threat

Immediately after receiving the threat, BSE officials alerted Mumbai police. As a result, police teams and bomb squads rushed to the site. After conducting a thorough search, they found no bombs or suspicious materials.

Investigation Begins After Search Operation

Subsequently, police registered a case against an unknown person. They filed it at the Mata Ramabai Ambedkar Marg Police Station under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Meanwhile, investigations are ongoing to trace the sender.

Notably, this threat revived memories of the 1993 terrorist attack on BSE, which caused heavy casualties and damage.

Markets Rise Despite Security Scare

Meanwhile, the stock market showed a sharp recovery after four days of losses. Sensex rose by 203.95 points, closing at 82,457.41. Similarly, Nifty gained 68.85 points to end at 25,151.15.

Falling Inflation Supports Market Growth

One key reason for this recovery was the fall in retail inflation. In June, inflation dropped to a six-year low of 2.1%, which is comfortably within the Reserve Bank of India’s target range.

Global Trends Help Market Rally

Additionally, positive signals from Wall Street boosted investor confidence. Shares of Sun Pharma and Bharti Airtel moved up. However, shares of HCL Technologies fell by nearly 3% due to weaker profits in the June quarter, even though the company raised its growth forecast.
