The Mumbai police have arrested a man for making a threat call to their control room, claiming that he was given a contract by fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim's gang members to assassinate Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, an official said on Wednesday.
The 29-year-old accused, identified as Kamran Amir Khan, is a resident of Sion East in Mumbai. He made this threat call on Tuesday, which later turned out to be a hoax, he said.
He was earlier arrested by the Uttar Pradesh police for making a call to threaten the assassination of Chief Minister Adityanath, the police official said.
