Mumbai: The Mumbai Police Traffic Control on Saturday received a threat message from a Pakistani number, warning against a '26/11 style' attack in the country’s commercial capital, officials said here on Saturday.
The threats were sent through a WhatsApp message, though details of the claims when the strikes will take place were not clear but it states that 6 people will execute the plan in India.
