Bharatiya Janata Party MP Gautam Gambhir has received two alleged death threats within a span of less than 24 hours from “ISIS Kashmir” prompting the Delhi Police to beef up security at his residence here, officials said on Wednesday.
After receiving the first threat, a complaint addressed to the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) stated that a death threat from “ISIS Kashmir” was received on the official email ID of Gambhir at 9.32 pm on Tuesday, they said.
The mail read, “We are going to kill you and your family”, the officials said.
In the first complaint, a request was made to look into the matter, register an FIR and make necessary security arrangements, they said.
The Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations unit of Special Cell has written to Google seeking information about the account handlers and registered ID through which the alleged mails were sent.
This would help in tracing the IP location of the device from where these alleged threats have been sent, a senior police officer of the Special Cell said.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) Shweta Chauhan said a complaint was received from Gaurav Arora, personal secretary to Gambhir, at Rajendra Nagar police station on Wednesday.
“The complaint alleged that an unidentified person has sent an email on Tuesday on the email ID of Gautam Gambhir threatening to kill him and his family members,” she said.
