A WhatsApp message threatening to kill Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was received on the state police's text helpline following which a case was registered against a man, official here said Tuesday.
Police said the message was sent allegedly by a person named Shahid on the WhatsApp number of Dial-112 helpline.
He threatened to bomb the chief minister, the police said.
