UP on High Alert: LeT letter threatens to blow up temples, railway stations
Security at major railway stations and religious places has been increased by the Uttar Pradesh police after a letter written by a Pakistani terrorist warned of attacks.
The letter was sent on June 1 by Maulana Ambu Sheikh, the self-styled area commander of Lashkar-e-Taiba. It is the same group that was blamed for carrying out the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.
The letter was written to the divisional railway manager of North Railways.
Religious places like the Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi and Krishna Janmbhoomi in Mathura could be targeted between June 8 and 10, the police warned. While Saharanpur, Hapur railway stations could be targeted on June 6.
District police chiefs have been alerted about the threat, said Anand Kumar, additional director general of police, law and order.
