Noida SSP ups the guard after ‘terror threat’ issued to Delhi, Mumbai

The Gautam Budh Nagar Senior Superintendent of Police has asked his senior officers to increase patrolling in markets and other crowded areas after the chairman of Ramkrishna Sewa Sadan Charitable Trust (RSSCT) in Saharanpur filed a complaint on receiving a threat call on his cellphone, warning of further terror attacks in Mumbai and Delhi.

According to SSP R K Chaturvedi’s letter to senior officers in the district, the Trust’s chairman, Sarupanand, said he received the call from an international number on December 8. Quoting from Sarupanand’s complaint to the police, the letter says that the caller warned: “There will be more explosions in Mumbai and Delhi. Stop if you can; our aim is to destroy India. The ISI runs in the blood of India. You people are cowards.”

The Uttar Pradesh Director General of Police had on December 5 written to all SSPs in the state to up the antennae in their respective jurisdiction. SSP Chaturvedi said, “We have increased security in the city. But that is particularly to avoid any untoward incident at any crowded place,” added SSP.
