India receives an email threat to blow up Modi Cricket Stadium.
An email threatening to blow up the Prime Minister and the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad, where numerous ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup matches will be played, was sent to the Indian police.
Lawrence Bishnoi, a known criminal who is currently being held in New Delhi’s Mandoli jail, has demanded to be released in exchange for the Indian government paying 500 crore rupees.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA), which allegedly received emails from Europe, later put the Mumbai police on alert, according to a police employee who spoke to the media.

“We have received the email from the NIA, which has alerted all concerned agencies in other places as well. We also got the email ID from which the NIA got the email and are trying to trace that as well, and prima facie it seems that the mail has come from Europe,” Indian media quoted the police officer as having said.
“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.
