Bhopal’s Crime Branch has taken a suspect into custody from Mumbai in connection with a death threat made against Chief Minister Mohan Yadav.
The Crime Branch of Bhopal police announced the arrest of a man identified as a resident of Mumbai in a case involving a threat to the life of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav. According to officials, the suspect had sent a message that explicitly threatened the CM, and a screenshot of the deleted message was recovered and used as a key piece of evidence.
The investigation, which began after the threat was reported, traced the origin of the message to a mobile number registered in Mumbai. Coordination between the Bhopal and Mumbai police units led to the suspect’s apprehension at his residence in the western city.
Authorities have not disclosed the suspect’s name or the exact date of the arrest, citing ongoing procedural requirements. The case is now being forwarded to the district court for further legal action, and the Crime Branch has said it will continue to monitor any related communications.
The incident underscores heightened security concerns for public officials in the state, prompting the police to reinforce monitoring of electronic threats.
No further arrests have been reported, and the police have urged the public to report any similar threats promptly.
