Banned terror outfit Students Islamic Movement of India has threatened to blow up a marriage hall on Thana Railway road in Meerut, the police said today.

According to a complaint filed by the manager of Agrasen Bhavan, a letter purportedly written by SIMI was found on January 1 at the gate, threatening them with a bombing at gate number 1 and 2 between February 6 and 10, the incharge of the police station, Hansraj Bhadoria, said.

A complaint was registered in this connection today, the police said.

The letter appears to be a hoax but the police have nevertheless taken the matter seriously and investigations are on, they said.
