Curb threats with cybersecurity, not political pow-wows

New Indian Express  

It is a serious issue that some of the top men in the Karnataka government—Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar and Home Minister G Parameshwara, besides some senior police officials—received email threats about 24 hours after the March 1 Rameshwaram Cafe blast in Bengaluru. The threat describes the cafe blast as a “movie trailer” for larger blasts to follow targeting buses, trains, taxis, temples, hotels and public areas throughout Karnataka if the state government does not pay $2.5 million. The mail was made public only on March 5, three days after it was sent, indicating the government’s serious view of the threat. There are political elements who would look to gain from portraying weak governance over an apparently poor law and order situation that presents an “atmosphere of strife”, reflecting poorly on the ruling party in the state.
