The current Test series between England and India is being overshadowed by terrorism. The fourth Test scheduled for Ranchi has been threatened to be cancelled by terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannu of the Sikh for Justice organisation. The England squad has been asked to return in this as well. A menacing video has been posted on YouTube by a terrorist from Khalistani. Regarding this, Jharkhand Police filed a formal complaint on Tuesday. Pannu has also made reference to the outlawed CPI (Maoist) organisation in her video. He has requested that the match be cancelled by the organisation by causing the disturbance.
India and England will play their fourth Test match starting on February 23. The JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi, Jharkhand, will host this game. A formal complaint has been filed against Pannu under the IT Act at the Dhurva police station, Hatia DSP PK Mishra informed reporters. In addition, an investigation has been launched into the issue. According to him, security has been stepped up recently.
Provoked the Maoists and gave threats previously too
Pannu provoked the CPI Maoists in the video by stating that cricket should not be played on tribal lands. According to him, it is going to create such a ruckus that Ben Stokes, the English captain, and Indian captain Rohit Sharma will be unable to play the match. The police claim that the audio video is being checked. Senior law enforcement officials are monitoring the situation as well. Previously, India has received numerous threats from SJF terrorist Pannu. He had made threats of blowing up an Air India plane in the past.
The Indian vs England Test series is heading towards its 4th match
