Mumbai Police chief gets letter challenging him to avert terror attack
Mumbai, July 27 (IBNS): Mumbai Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria has received a threat letter where his force has been challenged to avert a terror attack, media reports said.
The letter, as quoted by CNN-IBN channel, said, "Stop us this time if you can, you were lucky in 1993."
The letter was reportedly received on July 25.
"Sources said that the letter has been signed as 'Mujahideen' and could just be a prank," the channel reported.
In order to take precaution, all anti-terror cells in Mumbai have been put on high alert.
The Mumbai bombings had killed 257 people in 1993 in the nation's financial hub.
