Mumbai police have ramped up security measures across the city after receiving a social media warning about possible communal violence, arson, and bomb blasts during Eid on March 31 and April 1. The message specifically mentioned potential incidents in Dongri, allegedly instigated by “illegal Rohingya, Bangladeshi, and Pakistani infiltrators.”
According to reports from news agency PTI, the warning was flagged by the Navi Mumbai police after the message was posted on social media, tagging their official handle. Upon being alerted, Mumbai police took immediate action, intensifying security in key locations, increasing patrolling, and deploying additional personnel from the Crime Branch, the Anti-Terrorism Squad, and the special branch. So far, no suspicious activity has been reported.

Cyber Cell Investigates Source of Threat
The cyber cell has launched a technical investigation to trace the individual responsible for the social media warning. The Navi Mumbai police responded to the message by requesting the sender’s contact details for further verification and inquiry.
Similar Warning Issued to Delhi Police
The same person reportedly issued a similar warning to the Delhi Police and Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, claiming that illegal immigrants could trigger riots or bomb blasts in Chandni Chowk, Jama Masjid, and Jahangirpuri during Eid. The message also tagged the Delhi and Uttar Pradesh police, though neither department has publicly responded to the warning yet.
Delhi Police had already intensified security measures for Eid celebrations and the last Friday prayers in the eastern district. Authorities have ensured that additional forces are patrolling sensitive areas, and strict monitoring is in place to maintain law and order.
The authorities continue to assess the credibility of these warnings while urging citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities.
