The denial came after reports that the police registered a case against two men after a watchman alerted them about two people dressed as "bombers" roaming in Palghar near Mumbai.

Reports claimed the police stopped a bus in which the two men were travelling and found that it was headed for a film shoot and that the men were extras in the film.
