Mumbai: Security has been stepped up around Mumbai's famous Siddhivinayak temple, which is allegedly on the hit-list for a terrorist attack ahead of President Barack Obama visit to India.

According to reports, Pakistan sponsored Jamaat-ud-Dawa, LeT, Jaish-e-Mohammad and Hizbul Mujahideen have already dispatched four action groups to India for carrying out attacks before 28th January, 2015.

After the Intelligence Bureau alert, it has been anticipated that the Siddhivinayak Temple would be the soft target of the terrorists because of the presence of large number of people in and around the temple premises.

Meanwhile, security has been beefed up in sensitive installations across the country. All airports, railway stations and border areas have been put on high alert.
