Five drunk men were taken into custody on suspicion of planning to attack a hospital in neighbouring Mumbai but later let off with a warning, police said today. According to PI Mandar Dharmadhikari, the incident took place on the night of September 23, when all these five men boarded a app-based call taxi to the Thane Civil Hospital, where the wife of one the accused was admitted. Taken aback after overhearing the talk, the taxi driver--Sandeep Sapkal--immediately approached the Thane Nagar Police Station and narrated the incident sending the cops into a tizzy. A team of policemen rushed to the hospital and launched search operations which continued till the wee hours of September 24. Two accused among the five are history sheeters and small time criminals, the officer added.
