In the wee hours of Tuesday morning, the control room of Pune police received a call from an unknown number. Without identifying themselves, the caller informed the cop that a terrorist has been residing in Mumbai’s Worli area. Even before the official attending to the call could probe further, the caller reportedly disconnected the call.
Immediately, Pune police informed Mumbai police about the call, followign which cops initiated a probe in the matter. The number traced by Mumbai police reportedly appears to be from the United States.
While Worli police and Mumbai police officials have initiated a search operation to trace the person who made the call, it is yet to be verified if the claim made by the caller was true or false.
Elaborating on the call, a Mumbai police official said, “We take every call seriously. Since we received the information about the call that Pune police’s control room received around 1am on Tuesday, our teams have been working on the case and are verifying the details.”
