A high alert was sounded in Delhi Tuesday after intelligence agencies informed Delhi Police that two suspected Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terrorists had infiltrated into the capital. In an advisory, the Delhi police asked the public to remain alert and inform the police personnel regarding any suspicious activities.

Police have stepped up vigil at the entry points to the capital. “Anybody who spots them is requested to call the Paharganj police station on 011-23520787 or 011-2352474,” the advisory read.

The advisory comes four days after Punjab was put on high alert following a note issued by Counter Intelligence wing of the state police, which said “a group of six to seven Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorists are reportedly in Punjab, possibly in Ferozepur area and are planning to move towards Delhi from Punjab side”. The alert was issued hours after four unidentified men carjacked an Innova from near Madhopur on gunpoint late Tuesday night at about 11.30 pm.
