BAREILLY: A purported Indian Mujahideen (IM) area commander, Munne Khan, alias, Mullah , in a letter to Bareilly railway station superintendent Satyaveer Singh has threatened to “blow up the station if kanwarias pass through Muslim-dominated areas in the city”.

Meanwhile, vigil in and around the railway station has been intensified and policemen in plain clothes are deployed there.

“I, area commander of IM, want to inform station superintendent if Kanwarias pass through the Muslim dominated areas, we will explode the railway station. You better inform the police and administration,” the letter reads.

Station house officer of the government railway police, Bareilly, Krishan Avtar said, “We are keeping a close eye on each and every person visiting station.”

Notably, in the past few years, the district had hit national headlines due to scuffle between two communities over the kanwar route.
