The Mumbai police are in touch with Interpol (International Criminal Police Organisation) to ascertain legal remedies to investigate the matter in which the Mumbai traffic police, on February 28,  received a threatening message originating from Islamabad, Pakistan, which stated that Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis would be attacked.

“The messenger introduced himself as Mallik Shahbaz Humayun Raza,” a senior officer told mid-day. The Worli police registered an FIR in the matter. The city’s police was alerted and the chief minster’s residence was thoroughly checked. “Whenever a threat message is received the authorities are alerted. Nothing suspicious was found after checking the chief minister’s residence. Hence, we concluded that the message was a hoax,” the officer added.
