The Bangladesh Deputy High Commission, which received a threat mail over a week ago, has intimated the Branch Secretariat of the Ministry of External Affairs in Kolkata, Deputy High Commissioner Zokey Ahad said on Friday.

“We have received something of that sort. We have informed the branch secretariat of the MEA and so it means we have informed the Centre,” Ahad told IANS when asked on reports of a purported threat/terror mail received by the Commission recently.

According to a Times of India report, the mail said that around 20 jihadis, who entered India through the Hili border, have threatened to attack the consulate.

Security has been beefed up at both Bangladesh High Commission in Delhi as well as the Indian High Commission in Dhaka.

Ahad also informed that the West Bengal government has also been alerted.
