Australian security agencies are on high alert after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a death threat ahead of his highly anticipated official visit to Australia. This comes after a comment was discovered on a Facebook post that was promoting the “Melbourne Meets Modi” community event.
The alarming comment was discovered on a Facebook post that was promoting the “Melbourne Meets Modi” community event. This gathering is scheduled to take place at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on July 9.
Authorities Trace the Source
According to reports from The Australia Today, the message was posted by an account with the name “Abu Mustafa.” According to reports, the user warned that the stadium roof should remain closed or the PM would face deadly consequences.
The investigators are already tracking down the IP address which was associated with the account. The Australian Federal Police (AFP) confirmed they are treating the matter with extreme seriousness and refused to share any comments on whether any comments were made or not. There are multiple security agencies which are collaborating to guarantee the Indian leader’s safety.
High-Stakes Summit Proceeding as Planned
Despite the security scare, the three-day diplomatic visit will go ahead. PM Modi is scheduled to attend the Australia-India Annual Leaders’ Summit alongside Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
PM Modi’s Australia visit
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting Australia for a three-day trip, and during his visit he will hold bilateral discussions and participate in community events including the highly anticipated “Melbourne Meets Modi” programme.
A key highlight of the visit will be his meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at the Australia–India Annual Leaders’ Summit, scheduled to take place in Melbourne from July 8 to July 10.
