New Delhi: Police forces have tightened security around Mumbai’s Taj Mahal Palace, Hotel Colaba and Taj Lands End on Monday morning after receiving threatening calls from Karachi, Pakistan at around 12:30 AM to blow up the Taj hotel with bombs.

According to intel sources, a caller had threatened to bomb the famous 5-star hotel that was previously targetted on November 26, 2008. “Everyone saw the terrorist attack on the Karachi Stock Exchange, now the 26/11 attack in the Taj Hotel will happen once again,” the caller said, according to sources.

Karachi police chief Ghulam Nabi Memon claimed that the attackers, who came in a silver Corolla car were killed at the main gate of PSX. Weapons and hand grenades were recovered from the attackers.

Mumbai Police has launched an urgent investigation into the matter and the call details are being verified. Coastal patrolling and surveillance have also been increased.
