IB alerts Delhi Police of possible drone attacks by Let, Jaish

Indian intelligence Agencies have alerted the Delhi Police that the militants groups like Lashker-e-taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad may carry out aerial attacks using drones in the national capital.

The Intelligence Bureau has asked the Delhi Police to take all the precautionary measures to deal with any such threats. It has also asked the police to identify traders of drones and monitor all aerial flying in the capital region.

After the Delhi Police received the inputs, it alerted all district DCPs and instructed them to be watchful of any suspicious activity. The police also directed the officials to put on hold any private parties, any film making and other operators from flying drones unless they are licensed and given permission.

Security agencies have been on high alert after the release of 26/11 Mumbai terror mastermind Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, who is currently living in a safehouse near Lahore, and being guarded by Pakistani commandoes. They have also taken note of the latest threat by Hafiz Saeed, founder of the proscribed Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and virulent anti-India baiter, to attack the Indian capital.
