Amidst tension between India and Pakistan after the abrogation of Article 370, which provided a special status to Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed has threatened bomb attacks at several railway stations in Mumbai, Chennai, and Bengaluru.
The development comes after the police officials in Haryana's Rohtak said on Sunday that they had received a letter written in Hindi, in which the terrorists had mentioned about attacking stations. More importantly, the police said that the letter was signed by one Masood Ahmed and was received on Saturday.
