The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has received an anonymous email containing threats to assassinate Prime Minister Narendra Modi and target the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The email senders have also demanded a sum of Rs 500 crore and the release of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.
As reported by the Indian Express, the NIA has promptly notified the Mumbai Police, Gujarat Police, and other agencies responsible for the Prime Minister’s security. Following this alert, heightened security measures have been put in place in the city, especially since Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium is scheduled to host five matches during the ongoing Cricket World Cup.
According to reports, Mumbai law enforcement was informed of the threat on Thursday morning by the NIA.

Ahemdabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, the largest in the world, hosted the inaugural match of the ICC World Cup 2023 between England and New Zealand on Thursday.
Who is Lawrence Bishnoi?
Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who has been incarcerated since 2014, is linked to numerous criminal cases. Recent cases involving him include his alleged involvement in the murder of Punjabi singer Sindhu Moosewala and issuing threats to Bollywood actor Salman Khan. Notably, Bishnoi and Goldy Brar recently took credit for the killing of Khalistani terrorist and gangster Sukhdool Singh in Winnipeg, Canada.
In a Facebook post, Bishnoi asserted that Sukhdool Singh was a “drug addict” who had ruined the lives of many individuals and received what Bishnoi described as “punishment for his sins.” He additionally claimed that Sukhdool, a member of the Davinder Bambiha gang, was responsible for the murder of Sandeep Nangal Ambiya.
