Bengaluru: Bengaluru has been put of high alert on Monday following tweets on Twitter threatening a repeat of the hostage drama at a cafe in Australia’s Sydney, Karnataka Home Minister K.J. George said.
“A high alert has been sounded in Bengaluru after police received tweets on its Twitter account threatening to re-enact a Sydney-like hostage drama in the city,” George told reporters at Belgavi, about 500km from here, where the 10-day winter session of the state legislature is underway since Dec 9.
The latest terror threat came after a city police officer received a threat tweet on Sunday from an unknown Twitter account for arresting IS terror group’s supporter Mehdi Masroor Biswas from the city on Saturday. (IANS)
