Overview

  • Gautam Gambhir, Indian cricket head coach and former MP, received two death threats via email on April 22 from a sender claiming to represent 'ISIS Kashmir'.
  • The emails coincided with the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, which left 26 people dead, raising concerns about a possible connection.
  • Delhi Police arrested 21-year-old Jigneshsinh Parmar from Gujarat, identifying him as the sender of the threatening emails.
  • Parmar’s family has claimed he suffers from mental health issues, adding complexity to the investigation into his motives and potential terror links.
  • Gambhir, already under Delhi Police protection due to prior threats in 2022, continues to receive heightened security as the investigation progresses.
