New Delhi, June 7 || A man who issued a death threat to Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has been arrested by a team from the North-West District Special Staff of the Delhi Police.
The accused was apprehended from Ghaziabad following swift investigative efforts after the threatening call was made late on Thursday night.
According to police officials, the threat call was made to the Ghaziabad Police Control Room (PCR) while the accused was allegedly under the influence of alcohol.
Shortly after the threat was received, the Delhi Police Control Room was alerted, and the matter was escalated due to the high-profile nature of the target.
Investigators identified the caller and tracked his location, but by the time authorities reached the source, the suspect had switched off his mobile phone.
After intensive tracing efforts, the Special Staff managed to arrest him from a hideout in Ghaziabad.
Preliminary interrogation has revealed that the accused is a law graduate (LLB), who had been facing personal turmoil due to a troubled marriage. His wife had recently left him, which reportedly pushed him into emotional distress.
