Kaun Jitega 2019: Coimbatore police arrests blast convict for 'threatening' to kill PM Modi

he police today said it was examining a recorded telephonic conversation in which a 1998 serial blast convict is purportedly heard telling a contractor that he is planning to kill Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
However, initial investigation suggests that Mohammed Rafiq might have told this to scare transport contractor Prakash, with whom he was purportedly speaking.
Rafiq was arrested last night after the recorded telephonic conversation went viral on social media and he was booked under Section 506 (i) (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code, police said.
Though the prime minister's name was mentioned in the conversation, they said the preliminary interrogation of Rafiq suggested that the remarks were probably meant to scare the contractor and may not be a plot against Modi.
The investigations would continue, they said.
