Bangalore, Dec 14: A senior police official received a threat tweet a day after Islamic State (IS) terror group’s Mehdi Masroor Biswas was arrested here, the official said Sunday.
The tweet from an unknown Twitter account (abouanfa16) threatened Bangalore Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Abhishek Goyal of revenge for arresting Mehdi.
