Narendra Modi's Australia visit draws security probe after online death threat

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to travel to Melbourne from July 8‑10 for the Australia‑India Annual Leaders' Summit, meeting Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and engaging with the Indian diaspora. The three‑nation tour also includes stops in Indonesia and New Zealand and aims to deepen trade, defence and technology cooperation under the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.

Australian authorities have opened a security investigation after an online death threat was posted on a Facebook event page promoting Modi's rally at Marvel Stadium. The comment, made under the Arabic handle “Abu Mustafa”, warned of violence at the venue. Police have traced the IP address linked to the account and are assessing possible criminal offences, though no arrests have been made. Security arrangements for the visit are being tightened with coordination between the Australian Federal Police, state police and protective intelligence units.
