Sri Sri Ravi Shankar receives threat allegedly from Tehreek-e-Taliban

Spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has received death threat allegedly from terror group Tehreek-e-Taliban.

The spiritual guru had earlier also received some threats in the name of Islamic State and other Taliban groups. However, those threats were later found to be fake.

According to reports, authorities are verifying the claims of the threat. Reports further said that the Union Home Ministry asked authorities to increase security around the spiritual guru.

This is not the first time that the Art of Living founder has received such threat.

The Malaysian chapter of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Art of Living had received threatening letters from the Islamic State (IS) terror group in March 2015.

The fresh threat has come almost a month after events planned by Art of Living in Pakistan for the International Yoga Day were cancelled following threats by extremists.
