On Wednesday, BJP MP and former cricketer Gautam Gambhir approached the Delhi Police alleging that he has received death threats from ISIS Kashmir.

The email from ISIS Kashmir says, “We’re going to kill you and you’re family” with no subject or sender’s name.

In a letter to the Central DCP of Delhi, Gambhir states, “This is further to our telecon, we have received an email from ISIS Kashmir on the official mail of honourable MP Sir evening at 9:32 pm. This mail states death threat to him and his family…..I therefore request to make adequate security arrangement and lodge an FIR.”

DCP Central, Shweta Chauhan, said, “Gautam Gambhir has submitted a written complaint about the death threat. He has received the threat on his official email id. The security has been increased outside his residence.”

The police will take further action after investigation, including the verification of the e-mail address from which the threat was sent to Gambhir.

However, this is not the first time that Gambhir has received death threats.

Earlier in December 2019, the BJP leader had approached the Delhi Police, alleging he has received threat calls from an international number.

Gautam Gambhir has recently criticized Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu for calling Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan as 'bada bhai' (elder brother).

“Send ur son or daughter to the border & then call a terrorist state head ur big brother! #Disgusting #Spineless,” Gambhir had tweeted while making a sharp attack.

While interacting with the CEO of the Kartarpur project, Punjab Congress President Sidhu had sparked a row after he called Imran Khan his 'big brother' and said he has lots of love for the Pakistan Prime Minister.
