"A private jet carrying Bush and his entourage landed at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport sometime back.

He is in Mumbai for some personal work," a senior IPS official said.

The 65-year-old Bush and his team checked into the Taj Mahal hotel where he is likely to attend an event on Wednesday, police said.

A Quick Response Team (QRT) has been deployed outside the hotel for his security, they said.

Bush, who was the President of United States between 2001-2009, is scheduled to leave the city early morning on Wednesday.
