Prime Minister Narendra Modi's aircraft received a terror threat ahead of his US visit, according to Mumbai Police. A call warning of a potential attack was made on February 11, leading to an investigation and the arrest of the caller, who is reportedly mentally ill. This threat follows a similar warning received in December 2022, which involved claims of a bomb plot by alleged ISI agents. In that case, a 34-year-old man was arrested for threatening the Prime Minister's life. Modi is currently on a four-day trip to France and the United States, with the US portion starting on February 12. Police have informed other agencies about the recent threat and are taking it seriously.
