24-Year-Old Maharashtra Woman Arrested Over Death Threat To Yogi Adityanath

Mumbai police have arrested a 24-year-old woman, Fatima Khan, for allegedly issuing a death threat against Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday. Khan, who hails from the Ulhasnagar area in Thane, Maharashtra, holds a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology but has been described by police as mentally unstable, according to reports from news agency PTI.

The Mumbai Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), in coordination with Ulhasnagar police, arrested Khan after finding that she had sent the threatening message. During the investigation, authorities were able to trace her location and apprehend her, according to officials cited by PTI.

Mumbai cops on Saturday evening received an death threat against the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The cops allegedly got an anonymous call asking the CM to resign if he wants to stay alive. 

The Mumbai Police Traffic Control Cell has launched an investigation following the call regarding Adityanath. According to media reports, the unknown caller warned that Adityanath would be killed within ten days if he did not resign, drawing a comparison to the recent murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique. 

Former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique was shot dead in Mumbai's Bandra area on October 12.
