BJP MP Gautam Gambhir has received a third death threat from ‘ISIS Kashmir’. The threatening email mentions that the purported terror outfit’s spies in the Delhi Police are keeping tabs on the former cricketer.

“Your Delhi Police and IPS Shweta can't uproot anything. Our spies are also present in the police, we are receiving all information about you,” the email states, referring to DCP Central Shweta Chauhan who spoke to the media earlier about the threatening emails.

Gambhir received the email on Saturday, November 28, at 1:37 pm. It was sent from the email address ‘isiskashmir@yahoo.com’ this time.

Last week, the cricketer-turned-politician had lodged a police complaint alleging he had received death threats from a person(s) or organisation claiming to be ‘ISIS Kashmir’. The death threats were sent over email from the address 'isiskashmir@gmail.com'.

Following Gambhir’s complaint, security was beefed up outside his residence in Delhi's Rajendra Nagar.

The first e-mail, accessed by India Today, read, "We are going to kill you and your family". Soon after that, he received the second e-mail, which read: "We intended to kill you, but you survived yesterday."

"If you love the life of your family, stay away from politics and the Kashmir issue," the e-mail read.

The second e-mail also had an attachment of a video shot outside Gautam Gambhir's Delhi residence.

The Delhi Police had approached Google, seeking information about the account handlers and the registered ID through which the alleged e-mails were sent. According to the information by Google, the mail was sent from Pakistan, the source said.
