Security enhanced after Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde receives death threat
Mumbai: Security at Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's official bungalow Varsha and his private residence in neighbouring Thane city has been intensified after receiving an alleged death threat for second time, official sources said on Sunday.
In the message, it was stated that he (Shinde) would be killed by a suicide squad.
It is believed that the Chief Minister has received the death threat after the central government recently took action against Popular Front of India, which was supported by the Maharashtra government.
Also, when Shinde was the guardian minister of Gadchiroli district in the Maha Vikas Aghadi government, he had received a death threat from Naxalites following a major operation by the state police, in which insurgents had suffered heavy losses.
Though it is still not clear as to who has threatened to kill Shinde, police have initiated their investigation and are working on all angles, sources added.
