“The message said that if CM Yogi doesn’t resign in 10 days, he will be killed like Baba Siddique,” Mumbai Police said in a statement.
The Mumbai Traffic Police have reported receiving a death threat aimed at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The threat, communicated via a WhatsApp message from an unknown number, demands that Adityanath resign from his position within 10 days or face dire consequences. The message ominously warns that he will be “killed like Baba Siddique,” referencing the recent murder of the former minister and NCP (Ajit Pawar) leader, who was shot dead in Bandra last month.
The alarming message was received by the Traffic Control Cell on Saturday evening. Authorities are currently investigating the source of the threat and are working to identify the sender.
The police are on alert as Yogi Adityanath is likely to come to Maharashtra for the state assembly election campaign. As a precautionary measure, security for Chief Minister Adityanath has been significantly increased following this disturbing notification.
“Mumbai traffic Police Control Room received a death threat regarding UP CM Yogi Adityanath, yesterday. The message said that if CM Yogi doesn’t resign in 10 days, he will be killed like Baba Siddique. Mumbai Police Traffic Control Cell received the message from an unknown number. Police probe is underway to find the sender of the message,” Mumbai police said in a statement.
