Mumbai: The Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai has been put on high alert for a suspected Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorist Mahfooz Alam. A lookout notice has been issued against Alam as Mumbai Police fear that he would try to ecscape from the city.
Alam is one of the four suspected terrorists believed to have entered the city right before Christmas.
The Mumbai Police have already released the sketch of one of the four LeT men who - according to police - have entered the city to cause widespread destruction.
These LeT men may target crowded areas during the festive session, the police suspect.
"The Mumbai Police is taking utmost precautions including massive deployment and presence at all sensitive places," said Joint Commissioner of Mumbai Police Himanshu Roy while releasing the sketches.
Armed with specific inputs from the Intelligence Bureau over attacks during New Year celebrations, the police have fortified the city's major spots.
Bomb squads are to keep an eye on parking lots in Mumbai, even as police forces have been deployed at churches and other places of worship. Survelliance has also been increased at railway and bus stations and frequent checks are being conducted at hotels.
Just like it did during Ganesh Chaturthi and Eid, the Mumbai Police has sought the help of residents to nab terrorists.
