In a fight that happened two years back over a game of 'Gilli-danda', a 19-year-old school dropout made a plan to trap his cousin in a sensitive case- a death threat to PM Narendra Modi. According to a Times of India report, the youth from Uttar Pradesh’s Bijnor had hacked into the Facebook account of a Maharashtra farmer and changed the name and profile picture to that of his cousin, Nadeem.

According to reports, he then posted the message on Loni MLA Nand Kishor Gujjar's Facebook account. Besides the PM, the post also had remarks on Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The report quotes Gujjar saying, "In a fresh post on my Facebook page, some anti-social elements have issued death threats to PM Modi, CM Yogi Adityanath and me. Five days ago, the same people had issued threats to the PM. It is surprising that police are yet to make any arrests." After the incident took place, a local BJP worker registered an FIR. Post the complaint, police travelled to Solapur in Maharashtra and found that the farmer was nowhere involved.

It was only during the interrogation, the accused admitted of doing it to take revenge from his cousin, who had allegedly beat him up a few years back while playing a gilli-danda match.

A similar case happened, where a man wanted to take revenge from his wife's family for filing a case of cruelty against him. He, therefore, created a fake Twitter account in his brother-in-law's name and used it to post controversial messages from it, including a threat to blow up Guwahati, according to a Hindustan Times report.
