The traffic wing of the Mumbai Police has received a message on WhatsApp, threatening to attack Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’ office. The Worli Police immediately registered a case and launched an investigation. Police sources said that they received the message from a Pakistani number, and they suspected a plot from the neighbouring country to attack the Chief Minister’s Office. The person who sent the message gave his name as Malik Shahbaz Humayun Raja Dev. The threat message comes days after Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde received a death threat via email on February 20. The email threatened to blow up the Shiv Sena leader’s car. Two persons have been arrested in connection with the email threatening to bomb the car of the Dy Chief Minister. The authorities are at the same time working to trace the source of the message and determine its credibility. The officials assured that security around the chief minister, his office and other key government buildings has been heightened as a precautionary measure.
