New Delhi:
The Union Home Ministry has asked scientists of Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) to be careful in their movement following intelligence inputs that Pakistan-based militant group Lashker-e-Toiba was planning to kidnap or assassinate them.
Security around scientific installations across the country was also enhanced manifold, Home Ministry sources said on Friday night.
The Home Ministry alerts followed intercept of conversation between two LeT militants over satellite phone whose base was located at the local headquarters of the militant group at Koel in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
The intercept said LeT has activated some of its sleeper cells to abduct or assassinate ISRO scientists.
