LAHORE: Indian police received an email threatening to explode Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Indian media reported.
In an email, the terrorist group threatened to kill the Indian Prime Minister and blow-up Narendra Modi Stadium during the ongoing Cricket World Cup 2023.
The media report said that in the email, the terrorists demanded to pay INR5 billion and release gangster Ravi Bishnoi. The notorious gangster is currently in jail in Delhi.
“We will blow up Narendra Modi and the Narendra Modi stadium as well if the government fails to pay us ₹500 crore and release Lawrence Bishnoi. Everything sells in Hindustan, so we too have bought something. No matter how much you secure, you won’t be able to remain safe from us. If you wish to talk, do so on this email,” read the email sent to the NIA.
The Mumbai police have revealed that the email originated in Europe and was initially sent to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
As per Indian police, the security of the World Cup games will be reviewed and it will be increased if necessary.
Police have blamed the Khalistan Movement's leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun for these threats.
Remember, the Indian government is under international criticism after India's role in the killing of a Khalistan leader in Canada
It must be noted that the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup kicked off on October 5 with the opener played in Narendra Modi Stadium.
