In September, Munawar faced a similar scare in Delhi, when intelligence reports revealed a planned attack on him. The Delhi Police’s Special Cell swiftly intervened, ensuring his safe return to Mumbai under police escort.
The threat intelligence reportedly surfaced during an investigation into the murder of Delhi businessman Nadir Shah, where an arrested suspect mentioned monitoring Munawar’s stay at a hotel during an event with fellow social media star Elvish Yadav.
Mumbai Police continue to maintain strict vigilance to ensure Munawar Faruqui’s safety amid these ongoing concerns.
