Former MP Gautam Gambhir, who currently serves as the head coach of the India men’s cricket team, has been the recipient of death threats via email, according to Delhi Police. An investigation into the issue has been initiated.

“We have received information regarding an alleged threat email sent to an address linked to Gautam Gambhir. The situation is under investigation,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) M Harsha Vardhan in an official statement.

“Gautam Gambhir is already provided protection by Delhi Police, and we refrain from discussing specific security protocols,” he added.

Reports indicate that Gambhir, a former BJP MP, has received two threatening emails containing the message “I KILL YOU,” attributed to a sender claiming to be “ISIS Kashmir,” according to police sources.

This is not the first instance of Gambhir facing threats; he experienced similar intimidation in 2022, which led authorities to enhance his security measures.
