A 30-year-old man has been arrested for issuing a death threat to Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. The alleged threat was made by Shlok Tripathi, who was desperate to contact his estranged wife and was reportedly under the influence of alcohol at the time.

The arrest was made during a joint operation by Delhi and Uttar Pradesh Police in Ghaziabad. Tripathi, who faces an ongoing investigation, allegedly threatened the Chief Minister after police officers refused to assist him in contacting his wife, who had left him a year earlier due to his drinking problem.

As a result of the threat, security around Chief Minister Gupta's residence in northwest Delhi has been intensified. The incident highlights the personal struggles and erratic behaviors that can follow the end of marital relationships, particularly when compounded by substance abuse and legal disputes.
