Dhoni receives life threat

Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni had received several life threats in the past and recently he got two life threat letters in a span of three weeks. The letters threatened to kill Dhoni if he doesn’t pay them Rs. 50 lac. The person who sent the letter claimed himself to be the follower of Underworld Don Dawood Ibrahim. Dhoni’s family has handed over the letters to the Police Department of Jarkhand and the police have successfully traced the origin of the letters to a local criminal named Tasleem.
The police believe that TasleemĀ has no relation with Dawwod and is just trying for some easy money. Tasleem was not found in the district for the last few weeks. In wake of the threat letters, the security for Dhoni has been upgraded to z-category, the highest level of Security in India.
Dhoni was not happy with the security surrounding him all the time and has travelled without guards a couple of times in the last few months. Now Dhoni was instructed to be more careful and cooperate with the security officials. Dhoni also applied for a Prohibited Bore Arms license to protect himself. Currently he has a non-Prohibited Bore license.
