Indian media are super sensationalists. Times of India are experts in making a mountain out of a molehill!
Unless the DGCA actually investigate, i would not take the report seriously!
There must have been about a dozen near misses at BOM in the last year according to the Indian media!

I do not think that there was much danger, except the fact that ATC didn't realize the actual positions of the a/c on the taxiway, and directions they were heading!
However, note that one does lead into the other, so collision could be possible, if either proceeded on to the other xxxway!
