BJP MP Gautam Gambhir has alleged a death threat to him and his family from the terror group ISIS Kashmir in a police complaint filed in Delhi.
Security has been tightened outside his home in the national capital after the complaint was filed last night, and a probe has been ordered.
"Gautam Gambhir has received death threats from ISIS Kashmir through e-mail. Security has been beefed up outside his residence," police officer Shweta Chauhan said.
Gautam Gambhir got the threat in an email
The 40-year-old cricketer-turned-politician, who represents East Delhi, said he got the email on Tuesday night.
"The police are currently inquiring into the source of the complaint," the police officer added.
An FIR, however, has not been registered in the matter yet as an inquiry is in process, police said.
Along with the Cyber Cell of the police of the Central district, an inquiry is also being carried out by the Special Cell. "We are looking into the matter," a senior officer from the Special Cell was quoted as saying by the news agency PTI.
