The Mumbai Police have initiated an extensive search operation following a threatening phone call received by the Mumbai Traffic Police, indicating a potential recurrence of a terror attack similar to the events of 26/11.


The unidentified caller demanded the immediate repatriation of Seema Haider, a Pakistani national who entered India illegally to be with her partner, whom she met through the PUBG game.


The Crime Branch is currently investigating the caller and suspects it might be a hoax.


An officer stated, "Every threat call received by the control room is taken seriously, and we are following the Standard Operating Procedure to thoroughly investigate this call before reaching any conclusions."

According to the police, the call was made to the Mumbai traffic police helpline number via WhatsApp, and the number appeared to originate from the United States (+1 country code). Officials suspect that it may be an app-based call designed to evade detection. "At this point, nothing has been ruled out, and the cyber cell is working to trace the caller's IP address," added the officer.

The caller, speaking in Urdu, issued a threat stating that if Haider does not return to Pakistan, India will face dire consequences. The caller warned, "Prepare yourselves for a 26/11 type attack, and the Uttar Pradesh Government will be held responsible." The threat was conveyed through a WhatsApp call made to the traffic police.

Earlier this month, Haider and her boyfriend Sachin Meena were arrested by the Noida police for illegally entering India. Both of them were later granted bail by the court. In interviews, Haider claimed that she fell in love with Meena while playing PUBG and came to India to meet him.
