A 34-year-old mentally unstable woman has been detained for allegedly making a call to Mumbai Police threatening to harm Prime Minister Narendra Modi, officials said on Thursday.

The city police control room received the threat call on Wednesday, an official said.

The call was traced to Amboli in the western suburbs and a case was subsequently registered.

A Mumbai Police team tracked the woman caller and took her into custody for questioning, the official said.

After an investigation, the woman was found to be mentally unstable and the call was classified as a 'prank', he said.

The woman did not have any previous criminal record, the official said.

Further probe was on, he said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
