“I am directed to bring to your urgent attention a matter of grave concern regarding the personal security of the Hon’ble Union Minister for Food Processing Industries, who is currently under Z-category security cover,” the letter stated.

This is not the first time Paswan has been threatened. In July this year, he had received a death threat on Instagram from a user named ‘Tiger Meraj Idrisi’ who threatened to blow him up with a bomb. Patna Cyber Police had registered a case and arrested one person in that matter.

Police and central agencies have been informed and a probe is underway.
