Mumbai, 12th October: A teenager in Gujrat has been detained on posting threats for the Indian cricketer Mahinder Singh Dhoni’s daughter.

According to reports from NDTV, the teenager confessed to having posted the threatening message on the Instagram account after the IPL match between KKR and CSK cricket teams, the police said.

A 16-year-old boy has been detained in the Kutch district in Gujrat for allegedly issuing threats against cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s minor daughter, police said.

“The Class 12 student from Namna Kapaya village was detained for questioning in connection with a disgusting threat message that was posted on the Instagram account of Mr Dhoni’s wife Sakshi Dhoni a few days back,” senior police officer Saurabh Singh told reporters.

The teenager has confessed to having posted the threatening message on the Instagram account, the police said.

Ranchi Police had shared information regarding the boy with the police in Kutch and asked them to confirm if he was the one who had posted the threat message, police said.

“We detained him for questioning after Ranchi Police informed us that the accused hails from Mundra in Kutch district.”

“We have confirmed that the boy is the same who had posted the message. He will be handed over to Ranchi police as the FIR was lodged in that city,” police said, adding that a team of Ranchi Police is likely to reach Kutch tomorrow to take custody of the teenager.

MS Dhoni is the captain of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) cricket team in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 season.

After the news of the threat became viral, a huge outrage on social media has been created, with several cricketers, politicians and celebrities expressing disgust and demanding action.
