Intel input warns of attack on Dalai Lama
"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 the people concerned 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 men were suspected to be from China's secret service, the sources said.
"Some Tibetans may be inspired to harm Dalai Lama. A good number of Chinese youth enter India on business visas, ostensibly for some clandestine activities. It is likely that they may try to visit certain areas prohibited for Chinese like Tibetan camps," they said.

On November 26, 2008, Pakistani terrorists, including Ajmal Kasab, had landed in Mumbai by sea and massacred 166 people.
Though the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad is yet to conclusively pin the blame on any particular organisation for the triple blasts in Mumbai on July 13 last year that left 27 dead, IM's involvement is suspected.
