The threat led to immediate action by BSE officials, who alerted Mumbai police. Historical context reveals that the BSE was previously targeted in a devastating terrorist attack on March 12, 1993, resulting in significant casualties and damage.

According to financial news, the stock market saw a rebound after four days of decline. The Sensex and Nifty indices improved due to a significant drop in retail inflation to a six-year low of 2.1% in June, aligning with the Reserve Bank of India's comfort zone.

The recovery was additionally supported by positive signals from Wall Street, with the BSE Sensex rising by 203.95 points, reaching 82,457.41, and the NSE Nifty increasing by 68.85 points to 25,151.15. Notable gainers included Sun Pharma and Bharti Airtel, while HCL Technologies faced a decline of nearly 3% following a reported drop in net profit for the June quarter, despite raising its revenue growth guidance.
