The Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad searched the train thoroughly, but no explosive device was found.

The Mumbai-New Delhi Rajdhani Express was halted at suburban Borivili railway station on Sunday evening for more than two hours after an anonymous phone call informed the police about a bomb planted on the train, which later proved to be a hoax.
