Mumbai police detained a man from the Sion area on Wednesday (May 6, 2026) after a threat call warned of a terror attack on the Taj Hotel and Trident Hotel in south Mumbai. The caller referenced both properties, prompting an immediate security response from city authorities.

Security forces were deployed at the hotels following the alert, and searches were conducted in the surrounding areas. The police traced the call to its source in Sion and took the suspect into custody for questioning. Officials confirmed the threat did not result in any incident.

Authorities are investigating the motive behind the call and whether it was linked to any organized threat. Preliminary assessments indicate the call may not be connected to a credible terror plot, but verification is ongoing.

The detained individual remains in police custody for further questioning. The investigation is continuing, and authorities will assess charges based on evidence collected.
