High alert has been sounded in Navi Mumbai’s Uran area after messages in praise of the Islamic State (IS) appeared on one of the pillars of a bridge here on Tuesday.
The messages were found written on a pillar of Khopte Bridge in Navi Mumbai’s Uran area of Raigad district, police said.
“A separate team and Navi Mumbai crime branch are investigating the matter. There are vital installations nearby the bridge and therefore these messages cannot be ignored,” said a Navi Mumbai police official on condition of anonymity. ONGC, an armoury station, power station, JNPT etc, are located near Uran.
The messages written on the pillar of the Navi Mumbai bridge praises soldiers fighting for the IS and mentioned names of IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and other terrorists. One of the messages also mentions the name of Hafeez Saeed. Images of rockets are drawn in another.
