The call, which was received at the main control room of Mumbai police this afternoon, was classified as a hoax, he said. "Another call was also received claiming the blast would take place at 6:15pm.

A probe has found both calls were made by the same person. The process of registering a case is underway," the official said.

The control room of the railway police too received a call threatening a blast at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, though this too turned out to be a hoax after a round of intensive checking by the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) and canine squad, another official said.
