The threat letter, says the Congress, are written in Tamil.

Congress leaders like Anand Sharma and Ahmed Patel will meet the home minister and demand adequate security for their leader. They also want the central government to investigate the threats.

Rahul Gandhi, along with other members of his family are protected by the elite Special Protection Group, the highest level of security in the country. Only Prime Ministers and former PM and their families are protected by the SPG, apart from the Gandhi family.
