Mumbai Police receives message threatening attempt to kill PM Modi

Mumbai Police today (December 7) received a message threatening to kill Prime Minister Narendra Modi, said an official. The message was traced back to a number registered in Ajmer district of Rajasthan. A police team was sent there immediately to nab the suspect, said an official.

The WhatsApp message, which was sent to the traffic police helpline in the early hours of Saturday, mentioned two ISI agents and a plan to carry out a bomb blast to target PM



Modi.

The investigators suspect that the sender may be a mentally disturbed person or under the influence of alcohol at the time the threat was made. However, a further probe is ongoing to determine the intentions behind the message.

A First Information Report (FIR) has been registered under the relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Notably, the helpline of the Mumbai traffic police has received hoax threat messages many times in the past.
