Bomb scare on Mahanagari Exp turns out to be a hoax.

Jalgaon, Nov 12 (UNI) A tense situation unfolded on the Mahanagari Express after a message claiming that a bomb would explode in the train's toilet was found written on a wall on Wednesday. Railway security officials immediately swung into action, calling in a bomb detection and disposal squad to thoroughly inspect the train.
After an exhaustive search, authorities confirmed that the warning was a hoax. However, the incident caused panic and anxiety among passengers and railway staff.
The scare came amid heightened tension following the recent bomb blast at Delhi's historic Red Fort. The message — written in colored chalk — contained slogans such as "Pakistan Zindabad," "ISI Zindabad," and "Bomb will explode."
