The letter, which arrived when Dhoni was at his Ranchi home, was addressed to his father Pan Singh and bore a title “levy patra”. It threatened a fidayeen attack if Rs 50 lakh wasn’t paid to the senders.
On December 29, the family had received a letter with a similar demand and Dhoni’s family had handed it over to Ranchi police.
Both letters bear the signature of one Taslim who claims to be a shooter of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim in the Bihar-Jharkhand region. The letter, which has the address of a furniture store where the money is to be delivered, vows the attack will be carried out if the threat is disclosed to cops. Police said the underworld claims were yet to be verified.
Mohammad Taslim, claiming to be a henchman of the country’s most wanted gangster Dawood Ibrahim, allegedly sent two letters threatening to blow up Dhoni’s house in Ranchi, capital of the state of Jharkhand, if the payment was not made.
