India, Sept. 6 -- A 51-year-old man was arrested from Sector 79 in Noida on Friday for allegedly sending a fake bomb threat to Mumbai Police in a bid to frame his friend in Bihar as an act of "revenge," police said on Saturday.

Ashwini Kumar, originally from Patliputra in Patna, was jailed for three months after his friend Firoz filed a case against him at the Phulwari Sharif police station in 2023.

Noida additional deputy commissioner of police Sumit Shukla said, "Ashwini Kumar was arrested by the Mumbai police late Friday night and sent to Mumbai following paperwork."
