Mumbai Police are on high alert after receiving a message threatening a terrorist attack similar to the events of the November 2008 Mumbai attack (26/11) if Pakistani national Seema Ghulam Haider does not return to her home country.
The police received the message on the WhatsApp number of the Mumbai Police helpline.
In the message written in Urdu language, the sender wrote that if Haider does not return, then India will be destroyed.
"Prepare yourself for the return of the 26/11-like attack. And the government of Uttar Pradesh will be responsible for this," the threat message reads.
Currently, Haider has been residing in India's Uttar Pradesh's Greater Noida area without a valid visa for approximately one month, at the residence of her partner, Sachin Meena.
Although the police suspect that the threat is a hoax, they have alerted the Uttar Pradesh police and initiated an investigation to locate the sender.
Seema Ghulam Haider
Hailing from Rind Hajana village in Pakistan’s Sindh province, Seema Ghulam Haider ran away from her home with her four children to be with her lover Sachin Meena.
The duo met while playing PUBG and fell in love with each other online.
According to the reports, Haider allegedly entered India illegally through Nepal with her four children.
Earlier this month, Haider's illegal presence in India made headlines and garnered a lot of attention.
The Greater Noida police also took her into custody for violating immigration laws and detained Sachin and his father for giving shelter to her.
However, the court granted bail to all three of them.
26/11 Mumbai Terror Attack
India was struck by a horrific terrorist attack on November 26, 2008, when ten members of the Pakistani terrorist organization, Lashkar-e-Taiba, unleashed a series of attacks throughout Mumbai.
At least 175 people lost their lives, including nine terrorists, 20 security personnel, and 29 foreigners while over 300 people were injured.
