26/11 type terror attack: Mumbai police investigating WhatsApp message threatening.
According to police sources, the Mumbai Police is looking into a WhatsApp message that warned of a "26/11-like" terror strike in the city and was sent to the Mumbai Police Traffic Control's account from a Pakistan-based number on Saturday. According to the statement, the attack will be carried out in India by six people. According to sources, the Mumbai Police has launched an investigation right away and security agencies have been put on notice.
The WhatsApp message discussed bringing back memories of the assaults on November 26, 2008, when the Pakistani terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba attacked Mumbai.
Ajit Pawar, the leader of the opposition for the Nationalist Congress Party, stated today that the state administration should investigate the threat and take it seriously.
A boat with an AK-47, rifles, firearms, and ammo was discovered on the Harihareshwar beach in the state's Raigad region on Thursday, raising security concerns. Maharashtra Police has been notified that the boat has been recovered and requested to exercise caution.
The boat is owned by an Australian citizen, according to Devendra Fadnavis, the deputy chief minister of Maharashtra. "People were saved by a Korean boat after the boat's engine malfunctioned in the water. Now it is in Harihareshwar beach. Police and the administration have been told to get ready for the next holiday season, "added he.
10 Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists from Pakistan arrived by ship on November 26, 2008, and immediately started shooting, killing hundreds of civilians, including 18 security personnel, and wounded many more in Mumbai.
Later, security personnel including the NSG, the nation's elite commando squad, killed nine terrorists. The only terrorist who was arrested alive was Ajmal Kasab. Four years later, on November 21, 2012, he was hanged.
