In a shocking turn of events, Mumbai Police have arrested a 24-year-old woman named Fatima Khan for allegedly issuing death threats against Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The arrest followed the receipt of a threatening message sent to the Mumbai traffic police’s official WhatsApp number on Saturday. In her message, Fatima threatened to kill Adityanath unless he resigned within ten days, making a chilling reference to the recent murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique in Mumbai.
The alarming threat message prompted an immediate response from law enforcement, leading to a comprehensive investigation by the Mumbai Police. A joint operation involving the Mumbai Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and Ulhasnagar police successfully located Fatima Khan, who resides in Maharashtra’s Thane district.
Preliminary investigations revealed that Fatima Khan holds a BSc in Information Technology and comes from a family involved in the timber business. While her educational qualifications suggest she is capable, police sources indicate she may be mentally unstable, which could have motivated her threats. Authorities are continuing their investigation to uncover the precise reasons behind her message.
This arrest raises significant concerns about threats and violence directed at political figures. The Mumbai Police are committed to a thorough investigation to ensure the safety of public officials. This case serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for enhanced security measures for politicians, especially in light of recent violent incidents. As the investigation progresses, more details are anticipated regarding the motives behind Fatima Khan’s actions.
