Security agencies have launched an urgent investigation after Union Minister Chirag Paswan received a serious death threat warning him of an imminent attack. The anonymous threat note, which was delivered to his official office, contained alarming claims and prompted immediate security consultations in New Delhi.

The threatening communication falsely referenced Lok Sabha MP Arun Bharti, who is the minister's brother-in-law, in an attempt to create confusion among investigators. Senior officials from the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) immediately forwarded the physical note to central law enforcement authorities for forensic examination.
