Naik, who participated in the security review meeting here following Mumbai attacks, said the police have received certain intelligence inputs.
"I don't want to share it with the media. They are something very secret," the Home Minister told reporters outside Chief Minister Digamber Kamat's residence here.
The Home Minister's claim, however, was not substantiated by Kamat who briefed the press after the security review a few hours later.
"This (Mumbai attack) has happened just last night. How can we get the inputs?" the Chief Minister countered a question.
Incidently, the Home Minister was sitting besides him for the press conference, when he refuted the statement. State Chief Secretary J P Singh, Director General of Police B S Brar and Inspector General of Police Kishan Kumar were also present for the press conference.
Goa, a state on the western coast, today heightened its security apparatus along the 105-km-long coastline following the attacks in Mumbai.
The state government, at a high-level security meeting today, roped in Indian Coast Guard, Customs department and Indian Navy to guard the coast.
