National Stock Exchange Mumbai Office Targeted by Terror Threat Email
The National Stock Exchange (NSE) regional office located in Kurla, Mumbai, has become the target of a serious security threat. A threatening email received by the office has warned of potential missile and bomb attacks on multiple key locations throughout the financial capital of India.
Details of the Threatening Communication
According to official reports, the threatening message arrived at an official NSE email ID on March 12, 2026, at approximately 7:23 AM. The email, allegedly originating from the address wassanalovemax2560@gmail.com, contained alarming content claiming that "Mumbai will echo Khalistan" and outlined specific threats against various institutions.
The message detailed planned attacks at multiple locations with specific timing mentioned:
- The Stock Exchange at 12:11 PM
- Banks at 1:11 PM
- Courts at 2:11 PM
- Vidhan Bhavan at 3:11 PM
- Metro stations at 9:11 PM
The threatening communication also reportedly targeted senior political leaders and made demands regarding a "Khalistan referendum," threatening further attacks if these demands were not met.
Immediate Response and Security Measures
The complaint regarding this serious security threat was officially filed by Arun Barku Thakur, a 55-year-old senior security supervisor at the NSE regional office situated in Kohinoor City, Kurla (West). Upon receiving the email, NSE Deputy Manager Shashant Mishra immediately alerted the security department, initiating a chain of security protocols.
The threatening message was promptly forwarded to the internal security email ID, and senior security officials were notified along with the NSE control room located at Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). Recognizing the gravity of the situation, NSE officials approached the Vinoba Bhave Nagar Police Station to formally lodge a complaint.
Police Investigation Underway
The VB Nagar police have registered an official offense in response to the threatening email, and the crime branch has initiated a parallel investigation. Law enforcement authorities are working diligently to trace the origin of the email and assess the credibility of the threats.
The NSE regional office operates from the fifth and sixth floors of the Kohinoor City building, housing critical infrastructure including a data centre and brokerage office where online trading activities for Mumbai are managed. This makes the security of this location particularly crucial for financial market stability.
Police officials have confirmed that they are taking all necessary precautions and conducting a thorough investigation to identify the sender of the threatening email and evaluate the potential security risks to the mentioned locations throughout Mumbai.
