Delhi CM gets death threat over PCR call in Ghaziabad, security increased
A death threat to Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta was made via a call to the Ghaziabad Police Control Room (PCR) late on Thursday, said police. Following the incident, the Delhi Control Room was informed, and efforts were made to identify the caller and trace the location. However, the phone number was switched off shortly, said police. 'Assessment of the threat perception of VIP or VVIPs is conducted by the security agencies on the direction of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA),' a senior officer said. Ghaziabad Assistant Commissioner of Police (Kotwali), Ritesh Tripathi, said, 'We received a call on the 112 control room number around midnight between Thursday and Friday. The caller stated that the Chief Minister of Delhi would be killed. We immediately informed the Delhi Police and also formed a team to trace the caller.' Tripathi added, 'Efforts are underway to trace the caller.' Meanwhile, on receiving the information, the Delhi Police increased the chief minister's security detail and security outside her residence in Northwest Delhi. This comes a few days after senior officials received emails threatening to blow up two major government buildings in the city — Udyog Bhawan and Nirman Bhawan — which later proved to be a hoax after security agencies checked the premises. The Delhi Police has accorded 'Z' category security cover to Gupta. As per the 'Yellow Book' of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), which contains guidelines regarding security arrangements for VIPs and VVIPs, a Z category protectee gets around 22-25 personnel, including personal security officers (PSOs), escorts, watchers, and eight static arm guards. According to protocol, the Delhi Chief Minister is entitled to Z-category security, which can be enhanced after an assessment, sources said.

An officer, requesting anonymity, said that the suspects allegedly also recorded their act and threatened her with dire consequences if she dared to reveal the incident to anyone.
