Shiv Sena (UBT) spokesperson Anand Dubey claims he received death threats and abusive messages for supporting the BCCI's directive to Kolkata Knight Riders to drop Mustafizur Rahman from the IPL squad. The threats were reportedly made via WhatsApp and phone calls from unidentified individuals. A non-cognizable offense has been filed by the police, who are attempting to identify the perpetrators. The BCCI's instruction to KKR came amid heightened diplomatic tensions between India and Bangladesh.
