Goa police have alerted their Mumbai counterparts about possible presence of a Harkat-ul-Jihadi-Islami terror suspect in the metropolis after he left the coastal state two days ago.

"We are alert and maintaining strict vigil. We are co-ordinating with the security agencies to avert any untoward incident," he said.
According to police sources, security agencies had inputs that the terror suspect was to alight at Dadar railway station to meet a some one on Wednesday.
Police, however, said they are not sure if the terror suspect arrived in the city or not. As per the city police, Goa police had received inputs that HuJI terror suspects Kalimuddin Khan alias Rameshwar Pandit, 28, and Hafij Khijir Ulla Sarif, 25 were spotted in Goa recently.
While a high alert was sounded in Goa, Mumbai police were also alerted about the possible presence of one of them in the city.
