Letter in Urdu found at Dinanagar temple sends cops in a tizzy

A letter found on Tuesday morning at a Dinanagar temple written in fractured Urdu, warning of terror attacks similar to last year, has sent the cops in a tizzy.

Assistant superintendent of police (Dinanagar) Surinder Lamba said they were investigating the matter and trying to ascertain the veracity of the content and the source.

Gurdaspur SSP JS Hundal said it could be an act of some mischievous elements, but said they were alert and investigating the matter.

The letter was seen at the Thakurdwara temple by some devotees early morning and handed over to the police.
