February 13, 2010 -- the day the German bakery blast took place -- LeT operative Qateel Siddiqui had attempted to plant a bag of explosives near Dagadusheth Halwai Ganpati temple. This was one among several instances of terror threat to the venerated shrine, forcing the management to shore up security.

So, when the police passed on the intelligence in July of the temple being on the radar of radicals, the trust started construction of a wall on three sides of the edifice.
