Taking swift action on the letter, police traced the CCTV footage of the delivery and discovered the actual sender.
As per the police, the letter was sent by a man named Azim, who is a relative of Abid and Mehndi. Azim has an ongoing land dispute with Abid and Mehndi, so he wanted them jailed on charges of terrorism so he could claim their land.
Police have arrested Azim for sending the false threat letter.
