The police said on Thursday that four suspected LeT operatives had sneaked into the city recently to carry out 'violent attacks' during the New Year Season.
Sources said the tip-off was received after an Additional Director General of Police of Assam Khagen Sharma, known to have sources in Bangladesh, sent a written report to multi-agency centre (MAC) of the Intelligence Bureau about a possible LeT strike in Mumbai.
