Mumbai Police on alert as 26 Pakistanis go missing in city

New Delhi, May 13: The Mumbai Police is on high alert as 26 Pakistani nationals have reportedly gone missing in the city in the past few weeks. None of those missing had given accurate details about where they were staying or who they had come to meet while submitting the C-form, which a Pakistani is required to fill while entering India, the police said. The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) is leading the manhunt, which was triggered by alerts from intelligence agencies about threats emanating from moles in Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence. The Maharashtra ATS has sent teams to all hotels and lodging houses in Mumbai to look for them. The alert centres around reports that the Indian Mujahideen (IM) cadre, believed to be from Bhatkal in Karnataka, had conducted reconnaissance in the city in the past few months.
