Intel warns of Chinese terror threat to Dalai Lama


Mumbai, January 7
Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama may be harmed by six Chinese nationals who are likely to sneak into India, intelligence inputs received by Mumbai police have warned.
According to city police sources, the inputs reveal the name of one Chinese national of Tibetan origin - Tashi Phuntsok - who was waiting to sneak into India with the intention of gathering intelligence on the Tibetan administration in exile and to cause harm to the Dalai Lama.
Besides, Mumbai and Delhi could come under fresh attacks by home-grown terror outfit Indian Mujahideen, sources said, adding that Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), under intense pressure from Pakistan’s ISI, is planning to target important political leaders in poll-bound Punjab, including a minister.
“Dalai Lama keeps visiting Mumbai and other places in the state. The threat to Dalai Lama need not be underestimated. Loss of Chinese passports and recovery of Chinese passports need to be reported promptly, so that the concerned agencies could question them thoroughly. In this regard, the activities of the followers of ‘Shugden’ cult (an anti-Dalai Lama group) need to be kept under strict vigil,” the intelligence report said.
The six suspects, in all likelihood, were from China’s secret service, the sources said. “Some Tibetans may be inspired by Chinese to harm Dalai Lama. A good number of Chinese youth enter India on business visa, ostensibly for some clandestine activities. It is likely that they may try to visit certain areas prohibited for Chinese like Tibetan camps,” they said.
