The full story

Everything you need to know about this case, in one place.

Investigators discovered a network involved in the trade of hacked email accounts. An earlier probe into similar threats led to the arrest of a man from West Bengal by Gujarat police. Authorities found that this individual allegedly sold hacked Gmail accounts to a contact in Bangladesh. That person then allegedly passed the accounts to someone in Pakistan in exchange for cryptocurrency payments.

The threatening messages received in October mentioned singer Diljit Dosanjh's upcoming shows in Delhi and Ahmedabad, warning people not to attend. Officials stated that Pakistan-based individuals have been using these methods to send threats ahead of festivals and major events to generate fear among the public. The Cyber Crime Branch is currently investigating these incidents in coordination with central agencies.

Not yet reported: The articles do not mention any additional arrests in the recent October cases beyond the previously arrested individual from West Bengal.
