After the incident created a panic-like situation in the city, checking at various places has been increased.

A police officer said, "We are taking it seriously. Even if this is just to scare, it is a very dangerous act. The explosives have been connected with a wire. They did not have any detonator but if the explosives come in contact with fire they can actually blast."

The alleged explosives were found by one of the cleaners, who went inside the train to start the cleaning work when Shalimar express reached Kurla Terminus at 7.30 in the morning. The explosives were in a box beneath the seat.

As part of the investigation, police are now scanning all the CCTV footage of Kurla Terminus and trying to find out people who deboarded the train from that particular boogie. The cops are only relying on CCTV cameras.
