The Delhi Police informed their counterparts in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday about a call threatening to kill Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

The city police went into a tizzy after a duty officer in the police control room got the call on his landline number at 3 pm.

“The caller said that you have only one hour to save Adityanath and then disconnected the call.”

The caller threatened to kill the UP CM, police said, adding later that the call turned out to be a hoax.

The officer said that the call was made using Voice-over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and could not be traced. He also stated that the Delhi Police's Special Cell is looking into the matter.
