24-year-old woman detained over death threat to Yogi Adityanath

The Mumbai police detained a 24-year-old woman for allegedly giving a death threat to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on Sunday.
The woman was identified as Fatima Khan from Ulhasnagar area in Maharashtra’s Thane. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, but is mentally unstable, the police was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
The Mumbai Police received a threat message on Saturday evening which said that Yogi Adityanath would be killed like former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique if he doesn’t resign within 10 days. The Mumbai Police Traffic Control Cell received the message from an unknown number.
Authorities alerted the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) following the threat to Yogi Adityanath. The ATS successfully traced the woman believed to be connected to the threat, locating her in Ulhasnagar.
In a joint operation with the local police, the ATS team visited the woman’s residence to conduct an inquiry. After gathering initial information, she was taken to the local police station for further questioning.
Fatima has been brought to Mumbai for further interrogation. A senior IPS officer confirmed that she has not been arrested; instead, she was issued a notice following the questioning.
In addition, authorities plan to conduct a mental health check-up for the woman to assess her psychological condition.
The Chief Minister’s security has been beefed up following the message.
Baba Siddique was shot dead by three men outside his son Zeeshan Siddique’s office on October 12.
The threat comes just days after a man was arrested on Wednesday (October 30) for issuing a death threat to Bollywood actor Salman Khan, who demanded a ransom of Rs 2 crore. A report by news agency PTI stated that the man was identified as Azam Mohammed Mustafa from Mumbai’s Bandra East.
Similarly, a 20-year-old man was arrested in Noida on Tuesday (October 29) for issuing threats to Salman Khan and Baba Siddique’s son, Bandra East NCP MLA Zeeshan Siddique. The accused, identified as Mohammad Tayyab, also demanded money from Zeeshan Siddique and Salman Khan.
