Prime Minister Narendra Modi is currently on an official visit to France and is set to travel to the United States next. However, just before his two-day US tour, a serious security threat emerged. On February 11, the Mumbai Police Control Room received a distressing call warning that terrorists might target the Prime Minister’s plane.
Police and Security Agencies on High Alert
Given the gravity of the situation, Mumbai Police immediately alerted other security agencies and launched a thorough investigation. Authorities acted swiftly, tracking down the caller to the Chembur area of Mumbai. Upon detention, the suspect was found to be mentally unstable, according to the police.
Repeated Threats Against PM Modi
This isn't the first time PM Modi has faced threats. Over the years, multiple incidents have raised concerns about his security:
- November 2024: A similar threatening call was received at the Mumbai Police Control Room.
- 2023: A man from Haryana made a video that went viral, in which he openly threatened to shoot PM Modi.
- 2022: A person named Xavier issued a threat against the Prime Minister.
Despite these incidents, security forces remain vigilant, ensuring the safety of the Indian leader during his international engagements.
PM Modi’s Visit to France
During his visit to France, PM Modi co-chaired the AI Action Summit in Paris alongside French President Emmanuel Macron. The summit brought together global leaders, policymakers, and industry experts to discuss advancements in artificial intelligence.
Upon his arrival in Marseille, PM Modi received a grand welcome from the Indian diaspora at a hotel, reflecting the strong cultural and emotional ties between India and France.
Upcoming US Visit: Meeting with Trump
Following his France trip, PM Modi will head to the United States, where he is scheduled to meet US President Donald Trump in Washington on February 13. This marks Modi’s first bilateral visit since Trump began his second term as President.
The meeting between the two leaders is being closely watched, as it is expected to cover critical topics, including trade, defense, and diplomatic relations between India and the US. Given the evolving global landscape, this discussion could shape the future of Indo-US cooperation in several key areas.
Security measures around PM Modi have been further tightened in light of the recent threat, ensuring that his visit to both France and the US proceeds smoothly.
