Some Rajasthan ministers have received a threatening message on their official email IDs, DGP Omendra Bharadwaj said today.

"We are examining the credibility of the email id and its sender. We are investigating the matter and have collected inputs which are being shared with intelligence agencies," DGP Omendra Bharadwaj told PTI.

He said that there is no specific target or type of attack mentioned in the message, which was sent on Monday purportedly by terrorist group Indian Mujahideen.
