Mumbai: The Mumbai Police on Saturday received a threatening message claiming to assassinate Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The message, which is claimed to have been received from Rajasthan's Ajmer city, led to a panic-like situation among the security agencies. A senior police official confirmed the incident saying that the police are trying to trace the caller. 

According to the police, the number from which the message was sent was traced to Ajmer in Rajasthan and a police team was sent there immediately to nab the suspect. 

The WhatsApp message, received on the helpline of the traffic police in the early hours, mentioned two ISI agents and a plot to carry out a bomb blast to target Modi, the police official said.
