Justin Bieber to land in Mumbai today, over 500 cops to provide security

Canadian singer Justin Bieber, who is all set to perform in Navi Mumbai on May 10 as part of his Purpose world tour, is expected to arrive in Mumbai today.

Assuming that at least 45,000 people would attend international pop sensation Justin Bieber's concert in neighbouring Navi Mumbai, police have prepared a detailed security plan which includes use of drone cameras.

Justin Bieber would be performing at DY Patil stadium on May 10.

Hindustan Times quoted police sources as saying that the pop sensation will land in Mumbai on Monday.

Over five hundred police personnel and 25 officers would be deployed for security, said Hemant Nagrale, Navi Mumbai police commissioner.

Organisers have hired private security agencies for crowd management and ticket checking, he said.

Plain-clothes police personnel would keep watch inside the stadium, the commissioner said.

A police control room will be set up at the venue, where feed from CCTV cameras would be monitored.

The entire stadium will be checked by Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad prior to the event and drone cameras would provide live feed to the police control room, Nagrale said.

The organisers would be providing parking facility for 15,000 vehicles at various places. Shuttle services would be provided between parking places and the stadium.
