Shocking news is coming before the fourth game of the five-match Test series set to happen in Ranchi on February 23. The India-England cricket Test match in Jharkhand is under the shadow of a terrorist threat. The Sikhs for Justice organization has warned of canceling the scheduled match on February 23. Moreover, there’s a separate threat urging the England cricket team to consider returning home.
In response to this issue, the Ranchi police have launched an investigation. Senior police officials, in collaboration with Ranchi’s District Collector Rahul Sinha, are personally supervising the case. The verification process for the audio-video content of the threat is currently underway. An FIR has been filed in Ranchi in connection with this incident.
As per the filed FIR in this incident, it is mentioned that Gurpatwant Singh Pannu from Sikhs for Justice has posted a video on YouTube. In the video, he has appealed to the banned organization Bhakpa (Maoist) in India, intending to disrupt the cricket Test match between India and England.
Pannu has encouraged them to stir up unrest in Jharkhand and Punjab, aiming to prevent the captains of the Indian cricket team, Rohit Sharma, and the England team, Ben Stokes, from participating in the match.
In the video, Gurpatwant Singh Pannu was seen inciting Bhakpa Maoists, expressing opposition to the occurrence of cricket on tribal lands. The administration perceives this as an effort to disturb diplomatic sports ties between two amicable nations and impede the game through the banned Maoist organization.
Gurpatwant Singh Pannu hails from Punjab but presently lives in the United States. In the video, he has additionally threatened the England cricket team to go back. The FIR filed at the police station classifies this as evident terrorist involvement.
