MUMBAI: Mumbai Police received a message warning of a "26/11-like" terror attack in the city on the WhatsApp number of the Mumbai Police Traffic Control from a Pakistan-based number. The police have launched a probe into this and security agencies have been put on alert.
According to the message, six people will execute the attack.
The WhatsApp message talked of reviving memories of the attacks on November 26, 2008 in which Pakistan terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba carried out strikes across Mumbai.
This development comes after an incident on Thursday when a boat carrying AK 47, rifles, guns and ammunition were found on the Harihareshwar beach in the Raigad district of the state.
