Bhubaneswar: Security forces in the state are put on high alert after Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik received a death threat two days ago.
Contract killers armed with AK-47 and semi-automatic pistols are out to kill the Odisha CM, an anonymous letter posted to CM’s residential office said.
The handwritten letter in English said: “These contract killers are professional criminals and can attack you any time. So please be aware that these contract killers are continuously following you. The mastermind lives in Nagpur. The weapons which will be used to kill you have been brought to Odisha”.
