A control room of the Mumbai Police on Sunday (July 23) received a threat call, in which the caller informed that a tanker filled with RDX and two Pakistani nationals was going from Mumbai to Goa, the news agency ANI reported citing the police. The police said that the caller identified himself as Pandey.&nbsp;

"Investigation is underway," the police added.&nbsp;

Further details are awaited.&nbsp;

This threat comes just days after the police on Tuesday received a threat call for a likely bomb attack in Mumbai. According to a report by the Times of India, this was the 24th hoax call received by the police in the last six months.&nbsp;

Last week, the traffic police received a series of threat messages from an unidentified IP address informing them they were likely to carry out a 26/11-like terror attack. The message sender also said he would carry out the attack if Seema Haider did not return to her country Pakistan, the report added.&nbsp;
