Roy said the police and the crime branch have set up special teams and have sought the help of the public to nab the pair, whose sketches have also been released.He said they may create disruptions during the festive season in crowded places, especially at religious gatherings.Though he did not go into specifics, Roy was clearly hinting at the hundreds of Ganesh pandals which have been erected all over Mumbai and where millions of worshippers throng at all hours of the day.The Ganesh festival, preparations for which have begun in Mumbai and other parts Maharashtra on a grand scale, attracts hundreds of thousands of domestic and foreign tourists.He urged Mumbaikars to provide any information on the duo to the nearest police station, or the control room No. 100 or on special helpline numbers 022-22633333/022-22625020.Meanwhile, in view of the developments, police have heightened security checks all over Mumbai and surrounding districts of Thane and Raigad.
