Ahmedabad: Police have detained a 16-year-old boy in Gujarat’s Kutch district for allegedly issuing threats against cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s minor daughter.
“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 Dhoni’s wife Sakshi Dhoni a few days back,” senior police officer Saurabh Singh told reporters on Sunday.
The teenager has reportedly confessed to have posted the threatening message on the Instagram account after the IPL 2020 match between KKR and CSK.
“We detained him for questioning after Ranchi Police informed us that the accused hails from Mundra in Kutch district,” the police officer said, adding that the boy will be handed over to Ranchi police as the FIR was lodged in that city.
The nature of the threat had caused huge outrage on social media, with several cricketers, politicians and celebrities expressing disgust and demanding action, news agency PTI reported.
