Mumbai Police heightened security across the city on Friday after receiving a threat call on the traffic police's WhatsApp number. The caller claimed that 34 "human bombs" carrying 400 kg of RDX had been planted in 34 vehicles, warning of a massive explosion designed to "shake the entire city," the police said.
They further said that a group identifying itself as 'Lashkar-e-Jihadi' has claimed responsibility for the threat. The message also alleged that 14 Pakistani terrorists have already infiltrated India. "Mumbai Police is alert and security across the state has been enhanced. All angles of the threat are being investigated," the police stated.
