  • Bomb scare at Sony’s Mumbai offices

    Bomb scare at Sony’s Mumbai offices

    Hardly had the dust settled on the bombshell that programming head Rekha Nigam was leaving Sony Entertainment Television, its head office in Mumbai’s Andheri suburb had to be evacuated after the police said they had received information that there was a bomb in the premises.

     

    All the staffers were asked to go home and those who didn’t were seen milling outside the premises. The staff cleared out at around 3:30 pm and the police arrived an hour later.

     

    The dog squad was also pressed into service looking at the “gravity” of the situation and arrived at the site in “double-quick time” at 6:45 pm, just three-and-a-quarter hours after the order to evacuate the buildings. At the time of posting this report, the police were still searching the buildings.
