Uttar Pradesh (U.P.) Police have launched an investigation into a Twitter user who threatened on Sunday to assassinate Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh State Chief Yogi Adityanath with a bomb.
"The matter came to light, as we got information about this threat from UP 112 (police helpline). Somebody has made mischief on Twitter," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Pramod Kumar Tiwari said.
However, the police officials have refrained from revealing the username of the account.
"These accounts are generally fraud, and wrong names are used. Until the probe is finished, and an authentic name is found, it can't be revealed," Tiwari said.
