Bomb threat in Mumbai over Gaza op
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Mumbai police commissioner Rakesh Maria receives a letter allegedly penned by terror operatives, threatening to carry out bombing attacks in retaliation for the Israeli operation in Gaza, The Times of India reports.
The letter, sent on July 25, is signed by the terrorist group Indian Mujahideen (IM).
“We will take revenge for Gaza,” the letter said, according to the Hindustan Times.
“Maria you were lucky in 1993 to have escaped the wrath but this time you will not. Now we are going to carry a blast and it is a challenge for you if you can stop, stop it. Mujahideen,” it says.
Maria launches an investigation and raised the security alert, but the paper reports that the police receive threats regularly, and believe the letter may be a prank.
