Prime Minister Narendra Modi Threat Prompted Australian Police Probe
A comment posted on a Facebook promotion for the "Melbourne Meets Modi" community event at Marvel Stadium warned that "the roof tops of the stadium better close during the event or he will be coming to Australia for his death." The comment was made by an account using the name Abu Mustafa. Australian Federal Police opened an investigation, tracing the IP address linked to the account, but no arrests have been reported.
The threat surfaced days before Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s three‑day visit to Australia (July 8‑10), which includes bilateral talks with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the India‑Australia Annual Leaders’ Summit. Australian security agencies—including the AFP, state police and specialist units—have placed the matter on high alert and are coordinating protection for the visiting leader.
