Man held over fake info on bid to kill Modi

ONE person was arrested by the Gujarat Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) on Monday (28) for spreading fake information on the PG (public grievance) portal that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be assassinated during a rally at Jamnagar in the state.

Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) ATS, SL Chaudhary, said, ‘Gujarat ATS received an input on PG Portal that a woman named Tanya from Delhi had planned to kill Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a public rally in Jamnagar. The tip said that she was also planning to carry out a blast in Delhi’s Kendriya Sachivalay (central secretariat).’ The DSP further informed that Tanya is a native of Patna but practices law in Delhi.

‘The input said another man named Badayu is also involved in this conspiracy. The Facebook profile of both these persons have been attached,’ the DSP added.

A team from Gujarat visited Delhi to ascertain the veracity of charges.
