On Wednesday morning, Mumbai police received a call threatening the life of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A woman claimed a plot was in place, with a weapon ready for the attack. The call sent security forces into action, tracing the location to Andheri. However, the caller switched off her phone, delaying the investigation.
Hours later, the police tracked the phone to Kandivali and detained a 34-year-old woman. Initial investigations revealed she made the call out of frustration with the government. Authorities confirmed she had no links to any criminal organizations or groups.
Mumbai Police Arrest Woman Over PM Modi Death Threat
Senior Inspector Sadashiv Nikam explained that the woman acted alone and had no criminal history. Police recovered her mobile phone and confirmed she lives alone in Kandivali. She has a history of calling the police for minor issues and appeared mentally distressed. Her sister, who lives nearby, provided additional details about her behavior.
The police registered a case against her and issued a notice for further questioning. Authorities believe the threat was a hoax but are treating it seriously due to its sensitive nature.
Serious Consequences for Fake Threats to PM Modi
The case highlights how seriously police handle threats involving public figures. Even though the call was fake, the quick response by Mumbai police underscores the importance of leader security. Making such threats, even out of frustration, can lead to severe legal consequences.
As the investigation continues, the police urge citizens to avoid misusing emergency services. Hoax calls not only waste resources but also create unnecessary panic. This incident serves as a reminder that security forces remain vigilant at all times.
