Australia Investigates Online Death Threat Against PM Modi Ahead of Melbourne VisitPreviousNext

Australian authorities are investigating an alleged online death threat targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi ahead of his scheduled visit to Melbourne from July 8 to 10. The threat appeared in the comments of a Facebook post promoting the 'Melbourne Meets Modi' event at Marvel Stadium on July 9, posted by an account named 'Abu Mustafa.' Investigators have traced the IP address linked to the post, and the Australian Federal Police are coordinating security measures. No arrests have been made, and the probe is ongoing as Modi prepares for bilateral talks and community engagements during his visit.
