The Delhi Police has arrested a 21-year-old engineering student with alleged mental health issues for sending threat mails to the head coach of men's cricket team and former BJP MP Gautam Gambhir, an official said on Saturday (April 27, 2025). The accused, identified as Jigneshsinh Parmar from Gujarat, was arrested on Friday. Police said Parmar sent threat mails to Gambhir on April 22 — the day terrorists gunned down 26 people in Kashmir's Pahalgam— from a suspicious Gmail account. In a statement, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) M Harsha Vardhan said, "Parmar is an engineering student. His family claims that he is suffering from mental health issues. Further investigation is in progress." The police had earlier stated that they had been informed about an alleged threat mail received on an email ID associated with Gautam Gambhir. An email complaint was filed with the Rajinder Nagar police station along with screenshots of the threat emails. Gambhir received two threat mails reading "I Kill You" from a sender identifying as "ISIS Kashmir", police sources said. "Gautam Gambhir is already a Delhi Police protectee. We do not comment on specific security arrangements," the DCP said in the statement. This is not the first time that Gambhir was threatened. In 2022 he had received similar threats, prompting the authorities to tighten his security measures.

Gambhir receives death threats from ‘ISIS Kashmir'
New Delhi: Indian cricket head coach and former BJP MP Gautam Gambhir has received a death threat from a shadowy group calling itself 'ISIS Kashmir'. Gambhir received the emails, the day terrorists killed at least 26 people, mostly tourists, at the picturesque Baisaran meadow in south Kashmir's Pahalgam. According to Gambhir's office, the threats came via a suspicious Gmail ID, with two separate emails sent on the same day. Both emails contained a single word: 'IKILLU'. A representative from Gambhir's team confirmed to The Telegraph Online that a formal complaint was lodged at Rajinder Nagar police station on Wednesday. 'We have faith in the system and expect the police to crack down on this seriously,' the source said. The Delhi police told PTI that an investigation was on. 'We have launched a probe into the emails received by Mr Gambhir,' a senior official was quoted as saying, and that the cyber cell was looking into the source of the threats. This is not the first time the former cricketer has been targeted. In November 2021, Gambhir received similar threats from the same outfit, including an email that said, 'We are going to kill you and your family', along with a video allegedly filmed outside his residence in Rajendra Nagar. At the time, Delhi police had traced the origin of those emails to Pakistan and stepped up security around his home. In December 2019, Gambhir had also reported receiving threatening calls from an international number, which led to heightened security. Given his political background, having represented East Delhi in Parliament as a BJP MP until 2024, and his outspokenness on national security issues, security arrangements at Gambhir's Delhi residence are being reviewed once again. The group that has claimed the threat letters is shadowy, even more than most terrorists outfits.
