Man held for sending email threatening to kidnap Delhi CM's daughter

The Delhi Police on Tuesday arrested a man on the charge of sending an email to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's Office threatening to kidnap his daughter. "The accused, identified as Vikas, was arrested by a team of the Special Cell from Bihar's Motihari. The Cyber Cell team had tracked his IP address," said a senior police officer. The police is interrogating Vikas to ascertain his modus operandi.
