| Mumbai, Pune police on high alert |
| 2010-09-12 |
| [Arab News] The twin cities of Mumbai and Pune were placed on state of high alert on Friday, after federal agencies alerted the Maharashtra police that two alleged hard boyz of Harkat-Ul-Jihad Islami (HujiI Kalmuddina Khan alias Rameshwar Pandit from Pakistain and Hafeez Shareef from Bangladesh) had sneaked into Mumbai. Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Himanshu Roy, who released the pictures of the two alleged LeT hard boyz to the media on Friday late evening said that they had sinister plans to spread terror on the eve of Eid Al-Fitr and the 10-day long Hindu festival of Ganesh and stir communal riots. Roy said that the two hard boyz may strike and cause disruptions at religious congregations of Mohammedans and Hindus and crowded places. The alleged hard boyz may possibly target important government and other installations. Even though police sources say that the alert was a routine drill by intelligence and security agencies, the Mumbai and Pune police have taken the intelligence alert seriously and have beefed up security. Sharp vigil is being kept at airports, railway stations, bus terminus and crowded places. Vehicles entering Mumbai and Pune are being checked thoroughly. Leaves of coppers have been canceled after the alert and police were combing hotels suspecting that the alleged terrorist could stay in the hotels. The alleged hard boyz could also take shelter in rented house, therefore the police have asked landlords to immediately inform the police of their tenants or face police action. |
