Indian cricket head coach Gautam Gambhir and a former Member of Parliament from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has reportedly received a death threat from "ISIS Kashmir."

The threat prompted Gambhir to approach the Delhi Police on Wednesday, seeking immediate action. In response to the alarming situation, Gambhir formally submitted a request for the registration of a First Information Report (FIR), according to the SHO Rajinder Nagar Police Station and the DCP Central Delhi.

Given the severity of the threat, the Delhi Police are expected to investigate the matter thoroughly and implement appropriate security measures to safeguard Gambhir and his loved ones.

On April 22 Gambhir reportedly received two threatening emails--one in the afternoon and another in the evening--both containing the message "IKillU."

This isn't the first time Gambhir has faced such threats; back in November 2021, during his tenure as a sitting Member of Parliament, he had also received a similar email.

"Praying for the families of the deceased. Those responsible for this will pay. India will strike," Gambhir wrote on his X platform. (ANI)
