Srinagar: Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir has filed police complaint after receiving death threats from “ISIS Kashmir”.
“Former BJP MP and current head coach of the Indian cricket team, Gautam Gambhir, received a death threat from ‘ISIS Kashmir’. On Wednesday, he approached the Delhi Police, filing a formal complaint for an FIR and seeking measures to safeguard his family’s security,” News agency ANI quoted the Office of Gautam Gambhir.
On Tuesday, Gambhir received two threatening emails, one in the afternoon and another in the evening, both conveying the same message. This was not the first instance of such threats; in November 2021, while serving as a Member of Parliament, Gambhir had received a similar email.
Gambhir had recently visited France with his family for a holiday, but was back in the country earlier this month. He has been away from the limelight after India’s Champions Trophy win in March.
Gambhir was one of the many Indian sporting personalities to raise his voice against the Pahalgam terror attacks. “Praying for the families of the deceased. Those responsible for this will pay. India will strike,” he has posted on X.
