'You are on our hit list': Kashmiri Pandit journalist receives second threat from ISIS Kashmir

New Delhi, Nov 29: In yet another threat, Kashmiri Pandit journalist has received second threat from ISIS Kashmir. Less than a week ago, Kaul and BJP MP Gautam Gambhir had received death threats from the outfit. Taking to Twitter, Kaul said, "At midnight I received a fresh email from ‘ISIS Kashmir’ email account taking responsibility for Pathankot blast outside the Indian Army camp and again issuing threat against me."

 

 

The email sent to Kaul also stated that the terror organisation has taken the responsibility for the Pathankot blast. It presumably refers to the hand-grenade blast near the Army cantonment. Apart from this, the group also claimed that they will attack politicians and journalists in Kashmir".

 

 

"We accept the responsibility for the Pathankot blast. We will also target politicians and journalists in the upcoming elections in Kashmir," the email sent to Kaul stated. In another email, it said, "Do anything but you are on our hit list, you can't hide in Delhi for long."

 

 

Kaul expressed that no FIR has been lodged in the matter despite his complaint. "Sadly because I am not a Member of Parliament or a politician, this threat doesn’t get the same attention as Gautam Gambhir. Police is yet to file FIR in my case even after 5 days of cowardly threats. Not sure if they are waiting for me to get attacked," he said.

 

Earlier, Kaul had received death threats from the same group. The group had threatened to behead him, following which he had alerted the Uttar Pradesh Police and the Special Cell of the Delhi Police. Former cricketer and now Member of Parliament from the BJP, Gautam Gambhir, too, had received three threats against himself and his family. Security was increased outside his residence following the threat.

 

 

"The third mail is challenging Delhi Police. It is written in the email that Delhi Police will not be able to do anything. They have spies in Delhi Police too and every information about Gambhir is reaching to them," stated the email. The first email which was received by Gambhir read, "We are going to kill you and your family." "We intended to kill you, but you survived yesterday. If you love the life of your family, stay away from politics and the Kashmir issue," read the second mail.
