Security has been beefed up at railway stations in western Uttar Pradesh after a letter, purportedly by terror organisation Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), threatening to blow up the structures was received, officials said Tuesday. The letter was addressed to the station master of Shamli railway station and received yesterday.
According to Deputy Superintendent of Police (GRP) Ramesh Tripathi, security has been tightened and frisking of passengers increased at Shamli railway station.
Tensions have been spiked after 40 CRPF personnel were killed in a JeM-orchestrated terror attack in South Kashmir's Pulwama district on February 14 this year.
The incident took place when a CRPF convoy, consisting of around 2,500 personnel, was attacked by a suicide bomber who rammed a car laden with explosives into one of the buses on the Jammu-Srinagar highway.
