Mumbai: The Maharashtra Force One, which was formed after the 26/11 attacks to combat terror strikes, conducted a mock drill at CST around 2am on Sunday. The purpose was to check the accuracy of the combat team and the time in which they could overcome terrorists, if any.
The Force One commandos arrived at CST around 1.45am. The drill comes days after the intelligence bureau (IB) issued an alert that five Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists had sneaked into the city and was planning terror attacks. However, the alert later proved to be vague. Last week, there were inputs of a human bomb near an airport in the country. “The drill will be to check how the Force One commandoes take it. We don’t want to reveal anything about the drill at this moment,” said an officer. It is learnt that some dummy terrorists were also roaming at the spot and the commandos were asked to catch them.
