Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Raghuram Rajan has received a threat mail on his personal email ID.
Earlier this month, Rajan received a mail with the sender threatening to eliminate him. According to Mumbai Police sources, the email was sent from the ID [email protected].
According to reports, the mail said, “I have been given money by somebody to eliminate you. If you will pay me more than I have been paid, then we can decide on it.”
Mumbai Police has confirmed this development to Headlines Today saying, “Yes it is correct. It could be a mischief, but we are looking into it. The matter is given to the cyber cell officers. They are looking into it.”
The ID starts with Iraq-based terrorist outfit Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). As soon as the email was received, RBI officials alerted the office of the joint commissioner of crime branch.
The Cyber Crime Investigation Cell (CCIC) of the police is looking into it.
Sources say, the CCIC has sent requests to Google in the US to provide them details about the email ID.
