Security has been beefed up outside the residence of BJP MP Gautam Gambhir in New Delhi after he received an alleged death threat from “ISIS Kashmir “, officials said on November 24.

A complaint addressed to the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) stated that a death threat from “ISIS Kashmir” was received on the official email ID of Gambhir at 9.32 p.m. on November 23, they said.
