Indian cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir received death threats via email on April 22, prompting a police investigation in Delhi. The case is being treated seriously due to its timing and the public role of the former cricketer-turned-politician

This is not the first time Gambhir has faced such threats. In 2022, he received similar menacing messages, which led to enhanced security arrangements around him.
Indian cricket team head coach and former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament Gautam Gambhir has once again become the target of threats, as per a report by PTI. Authorities in New Delhi have confirmed that Gambhir received two threatening emails earlier this week, triggering an immediate response from local law enforcement.
The emails were received on 22nd April – the same day a tragic terrorist attack unfolded in Pahalgam, Kashmir, where 26 individuals, most of them tourists, were brutally gunned down. The timing of the threats has added a sense of urgency and gravity to the matter, with investigators treating the situation with the highest level of seriousness.
