The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on Tuesday arrested a 19-year-old first year Bachelor of Science student, Braja Mohan Das from Assam, for allegedly sending life-threatening messages to players of the Indian cricket team on the official mail ID of the Board of Cricket Control India (BCCI). He also sent similar messages to three cricket boards of other countries. Even though investigation has revealed that he is a brilliant student, his parents approached the cops with an application stating that he was suffering from some mental illness for which he was undergoing treatment.

According to the ATS, on August 16 BCCI received an email, which threatened to kill the players of the Indian cricket team. The content of the email was very sensitive in nature. Following this, the ATS registered an FIR against an unknown person. An officer said, "The accused was identified and traced to Morigaon district in Assam. Teams were sent to the location and with the help of the local police they arrested him from his residence. Some electronic equipment used in committing the offence were seized from his house."
