A call warning of 'terrorists' visiting the area near the Haji Ali Dargah in Mumbai turned out to be a hoax, police said on Friday, reported the PTI.
The man who made the threat call was found to be a mentally unstable man, said an official, as per the PTI.
Police in neighbouring Thane city received a call on Thursday afternoon claiming that a group of terrorists was heading for Haji Ali Dargah, a famous landmark in south Mumbai.
Officials of the Tardeo police station rushed to the spot and conducted search around the Dargah with the help of Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad and sniffer dog squad.

In view of his mental condition, no criminal case was registered against him, the official added.
