Indian Revenue Service officer <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/Sameer+Wankhede-articles" rel="none">Sameer Wankhede</a> on Friday lodged a police complaint here after receiving threat from an unidentified Twitter user, an official said.
Wankhede, former <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/Mumbai-all" rel="none">Mumbai</a> zonal director of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), visited the suburban <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/Goregaon-all" rel="none">Goregaon</a> Police Station in the morning, he said.
A non-cognisable offence was registered under section 507 (criminal intimidation by anonymous communication) of the Indian Penal Code, the official said.

The cyber cell of Mumbai Police is also conducting a probe into the matter.
Wankhede received the threat on Thursday from a Twitter handle a day after a First Information Report (FIR) was registered against jailed NCP leader and former Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik for allegedly defaming Wankhede over his caste certificate.
Malik, when he was a minister, had accused Wankhede of using a bogus caste certificate to get his government job. The latter had denied the charge.
Wankhede was in news during his stint with the NCB as he had probed some high-profile drug-related cases involving Bollywood celebrities.&nbsp;
