Mangaluru : In the backdrop of the warning of legal action with reference to attack on cattle transporters, a person has issued a death threat to Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh in a WhatsApp group and the message is now viral on social media.

It has been gathered that the issue had come up for discussion in a WhatsApp Group when a man had issued a threat to the DC in Tulu language. ” If anyone who tries to come in the way of the Hindutva or God’s work, ready to eliminate anyone or sacrifice my life,” the man has posted in Tulu language.

DCP (Law and Order) Arunamshagiri said that the matter has come to the notice of the Department and an investigation has been initiated. “We have also spoken to the DC and in case she lodges a complaint the same will be accepted or else a suo moto complaint will be registered.”
