New Delhi, Sep 4: Alarms went ringing for the National Investigation Agency after they accessed an email with an instruction threatening to kill Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a report by Times Now stated.
In what seems to be one of the major threats to national security, the NIA promptly wrote a letter under the Ministry of Home Affairs citing details of the death threat to PM Modi.
“The NIA has received certain emails from an email ID threatening some dignitaries/agencies. The contents of the email are self-explanatory and copies of email are enclosed. It is requested to take action as deemed appropriate,” NIA wrote in its letter.
The letter dated August 8 announces a direct threat to the Prime Minister’s life, which has rung alerts around the security agencies. The security cover for PM Modi has been enhanced in the wake of the threat.
The NIA has not done any inquiry verification on the matter, the agency further stated.
Details of the email:
From: ylalwani12345@gmail.com
To: info.mum.nia@gov.in
Sent on: Saturday, 8 August 2020
Time: 1:34:06 am
Instruction: Kill Narendra Modi
Following the receipt of the letter, MHA has taken up the matter with the Special Protection Group, which is responsible for the protection of Prime Minister Modi.
Meanwhile, the NIA has roped in the Multi-Agency Coordination Centre, which has representatives from R&AW, Intelligence Bureau, Defence Intelligence Agencies, to investigate the matter.
This is believed to be yet another instance of 'Hate Modi' politics and inciting the assassins. The origin of the email is being tracked to elements based outside India.
