He identified himself as a member of the D Company and warned of a large-scale attack in the city that triggered immediate police action.

The Mumbai Crime Branch, along with Borivali Police, soon traced and arrested the caller, identified as Suraj Jadhav, a resident of Borivali.

As per the police, the accused Jadhav has a criminal background with prior cases registered under IPC Sections 323 and 324.
