A threatening call was received on the Reserve Bank of India's customer care helpline at approximately 10 am on Saturday.

The caller identified themselves as the "CEO of Lashkar-e-Taiba" and abruptly ended the call after cryptically stating, "Close the back door; the electric car has broken down."

Taking the incident seriously, the Mata Ramabai Ambedkar Marg police station registered a case following a complaint lodged by the Reserve Bank's security guard.

However, the police suspect the call to be a prank and are actively working to identify the individual responsible.
