Mumbai Police gets 26/11-like terrorist attack threat from Pakistani phone number

Maharashtra’s Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) recovered a mysterious weapon-loaded boat from Raigad just two days ago.

Just two days after the mysterious weapon-loaded boat recovered from Maharashtra's Raigad, the Mumbai Police on Saturday received a threat message, warning of a 26/11-like terrorist attack, people familiar with the matter said. The message was sent via WhatsApp on a Mumbai Police traffic control line from a Pakistan-based phone number.

The message also claimed that the terror operation will be executed by six people, sources said. The Mumbai Police is currently investigating the matter and other Intelligence and central agencies have reportedly been roped in.

More than 150 people were killed and scores were injured when 10 members of the Lashkar-e-Taiba stormed several places in Mumbai in November 2008.

Reacting to the threat message, Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi tweeted, “First the Raigad recovery, now the police threat message. What’s happening in Maharashtra?"
