LeT threatens terror strikes if Afzal Guru not freed

Lucknow, Apr 28: Security has been beefed up at all the railway stations and trains passing through Uttar Pradesh, following receipt of a threat letter by Bulandshahr district's Khurja railway station master purportedly written by Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT).

The letter sought the release of Parliament attack accused Mohd Afzal Guru by May 14 and threatened terror strikes. While Guru has already been handed out the capital punishment, he had sought Presidential pardon which was still pending with the Rastrapati Bhawan.

Government Railway Police (GRP) sources here today said the letter was received through postal mail by the station master.

While, this was not the first time that such a letter had been received, investigations were on and the security has been tightened across UP.
