In response, Gambhir approached the Delhi Police on Wednesday, seeking immediate action.

He formally requested the registration of a First Information Report (FIR), according to officials from the Rajinder Nagar Police Station and the DCP Central Delhi.

Do you believe that law enforcement should take threats against public figures more seriously?

This is not the first time Gambhir has faced such threats. In November 2021, during his tenure as a sitting Member of Parliament, he received a similar email.
In the meantime, Gambhir condemned the terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on Tuesday, which left 26 civilians dead.
Expressing his sorrow on X (formerly Twitter), Gambhir wrote, "Praying for the families of the deceased. Those responsible for this will pay. India will strike." The attack in Pahalgam is among the deadliest since the 2019 Pulwama terror attack.
