In the southwest Delhi neighborhood of Vasant Vihar, a businessman discovered two live cartridges and a threat letter inside a candy box outside his home, police reported on Saturday.
Investigations have been initiated into a case against unidentified individuals under sections 25 of the Arms Act and 506 of the IPC for criminal intimidation, they added.
Following his receipt of the box, the merchant went to the local police on Friday afternoon, according to an officer.
“On opening the sweet box, he found two live cartridges with sweets and a handwritten threat letter with some personal comments written on it,” the officer said.
“It is suspected that some personal enmity is the reason behind the threat,” the officer said, adding that they are investigating the case from all possible angles.
Another officer said CCTV cameras installed outside the businessman’s house are being analysed to narrow down on suspects.
“A few people have been rounded up and teams are working on multiple leads,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (southwest) Rohit Meena said.
