An unidentified caller has threatened to kill Prime Minister Narendra Modi with bomb and a man from Satna has claimed that he has received the alleged phone call, reports said on Monday. 

The man has lodged a report about the bomb threat against PM Narendra Modi with Ramnagar Police Station and has handed over the phone recording of the alleged conversation.

The man has claimed that he received a phone call from this number 79651219. The caller has threatened a bomb blast at a mega rally scheduled to be held in Mumbai’s Kalyan on May 25, he said. 

He said that the unidentified caller is allegedly making plans to orchestrate the bomb attack and has claimed that he has convinced two persons and wanted to get him too involved. The caller also offered him Rs 50 crore in return of helping him carry out the attack.
