An investigation has been launched by Australian authorities after an alleged death threat targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi appeared on Facebook ahead of his scheduled visit to the country.
PM Modi is scheduled to travel to Melbourne between July 8-10, where he is scheduled to hold bilateral discussions with his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese.
The threat was posted in the comments section of a Facebook post promoting the “Melbourne Meets Modi” community event, set to take place at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on July 9, according to a report by The Australia Today. The comment originated from a Facebook account identified as “Abu Mustafa” (ابو مصطفى) and stated: “The roof tops of the stadium better close during the event or he will be coming to Australia for his death.”
Sources familiar with the matter told The Australia Today that authorities have identified the IP address linked to the Facebook post. Investigators are now examining the circumstances surrounding the alleged threat and assessing whether it amounts to a criminal offence.
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) has neither confirmed any arrests nor disclosed further details, citing the ongoing investigation. However, authorities are treating the alleged threat with the highest level of seriousness, with multiple Australian security agencies expected to coordinate efforts to ensure PM Modi’s safety during his visit.
