RCB security tightened after terror threats

Bengali Daily, Anandbazar Patrika quoted Gujarat Police officials to state that the primary reason for RCB to cancel their practice session and the press conference was the threat to Virat Kohli's security. On Monday, the Ahmedabad Police arrested 4 people on suspicion of Terror activities, as the Police recovered weapons, and other dubious videos after searching their hideout.

The details of the incident was shared with both the teams, but RCB took a formal action and informed the security personnel that there won't be any net sessions.

As reported, one police officer gave a statement, stating that Kohli is a national treasure and his security was of utmost importance.

"Virat Kohli learned about the arrests after arriving in Ahmedabad. He is a national treasure, and his security is our utmost priority," said Vijay Singha Jwala, a police officer.
