Mumbai: Following the April 22 terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Mumbai has been on high alert, with multiple threat calls and emails adding pressure on security agencies.
Between January and May 20, Mumbai police received around 10 threat emails and calls, some traced to foreign IP addresses. Threats were also made to the airport and airlines, but no suspects have been identified so far. In response, Mumbai police launched ‘Operation All-Out’, increasing security checks, detaining illegal Bangladeshi immigrants, and filing cases against landlords and tenants who failed to submit identity documents.
Hotels and lodges are being scrutinised, and over 250 illegal immigrants were deported last week. Police are focusing on rented accommodations. Landlords in areas like Dadar, Kandivali, Malvani, and Shivaji Park are facing action for not reporting tenant details.
Over a dozen FIRs were registered within a week. After the Pahalgam attack, drones and paragliding were banned in Mumbai. Several persons were booked for illegal drone use.
