An e-mail by suspected Maoists received at the Orissa chief Minister’s Office here has threatened to blow up the residence of Naveen Patnaik and important establishments in the state following which the security has been beefed up.
Claiming that top Maoist leaders Kishenji and Bikram had received bullet injuries, the e-mail threatened to avenge for the wounds inflicted on them, officials said today.
“We will reply to each bullet that hit Kishenji and comrade Bikram,” said the e-mail received yesterday purportedly sent by the Central Military Commission of the Peoples’ Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA), a Maoist outfit.
“As soon as you launch joint special operation or green hunt, we will start attacks at Bhubaneswar, Cuttack and Puri simultaneously,” the e-mail said while threatening to blow up the chief minister’s residence and other important establishments in the state.
Describing the police personnel as a “helpless lot” in the administrative set up, the e-mail threatened to target “corrupt” bureaucrats by the use of ultra-modern weapons available under cyber technology.
Following the receipt of the e-mail security has been beefed up in and around Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik’s residence and other vital places here.
“Police are investigating into the matter. I am sure they will come out successful,” Patnaik told reporters on the sideline of a meeting held at a hotel here.
