SEE HOW EASY IT IS TO ENTER CST WITH A GUN

LAX SECURITY ENDANGERS LAKHS:
Balasaheb Borkar, 50, a resident of Vashi, Navi Mumbai, exposed the lax security at CST on Monday. He travelled by train to the station with his licensed .32 revolver. ''I went in and came out through the metal detectors placed at different exit and entry points. Not once did the police personnel question me. Then I went up to the cops and asked why they were unable to detect my weapon. I was shocked when they said they did not the hear the beeps of the metal detector,'' Borkar told TOI. Borkar, who claims to be a friend of former deputy CM R R Patil, said he was shocked the police had not learnt any lessons after the recent terror attacks. Incidentally, reports indicate that the terrorists had planned to strike CST around 7.30 pm — peak hour — on Wednesday night, which would have resulted in many more casualties. However, their landing on Indian soil was delayed, probably saving many lives.
