New Delhi: The Delhi Police has been placed on high alert after receiving an intelligence tip-off warning of a terror attack on crowded public spaces, a report said on Wednesday.
Around six to seven terrorists are believed to have entered into the national capital with the intention of carrying out a London-style attack.
As per sources, terrorists are planning to launch an attack in Delhi anytime before Eid.
“The Delhi Police Special cell has issued an advisory to all security agencies across the country to beef up the security measures at interstate bus terminals, railway stations, five-star hotels, malls and markets, religious places, embassies of western countries, metro stations, airports, stadiums, and tourist places or other sites visited by foreign nationals,” an officer had told news agency IANS on Monday.
The advisory comes close on the heels of recent terror attacks in the UK and other European countries.
The security agencies have also been directed to keep a tab on suspicious articles, if found, in vehicles and to conduct proper checking on interstate borders.
“According to the specific intelligence inputs on June 10 about militants are planning a series of terror attacks at various places in India. While further details are yet to emerge, initial indications point towards the possibility of crowded public places, market and locations frequented by foreign nationals being among the possible targets,” said the Delhi Police advisory.
It also said, any additional details such as likely timing, locations, identities of the terrorists or tactics of planned attacks, are not available.
