Previous Death Threat
This is not the first time Paswan has faced a death threat. In July 2025, ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections, he received a threat through Instagram. His party subsequently filed a complaint with the Cyber Police Station in Patna. The earlier case involved an Instagram account identified in the complaint, while the latest incident involves an anonymous letter containing two mobile numbers.
Investigation Underway
No arrest or identification of the sender has been announced so far. Security agencies are examining the communication as part of the investigation. The immediate focus is expected to be on tracing the source of the letter, verifying the information provided in it and assessing whether the threat poses a credible security risk to the Union minister.
