ISLAMABAD, 28 September 2021, (TON): Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid said that the government was in contact with Interpol over the threatening emails sent to the New Zealand cricket team that resulted in the cancellation of the tour hours before the first ODI.

Addressing a weekly presser, the interior minister said “interpol has been contacted to probe into 12 emails sent to the NZ team and their "India-Singapore links". "There will be good news soon."

It may be noted here that one of the emails was sent from an associated device in India using VPN, showing the IP address or location of Singapore.

"The device RMX 1971 (Realme) used 13 email IDs and except for Hamza Afridi, the 12 other email IDs had Indian/Hindi names," the minister had said in an earlier press conference.

Fake news generated by India led to the shock cancellation of New Zealand cricket team’s tour of Pakistan, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry had said last week, describing the plot as part of a fifth generation hybrid warfare against the country, in a presser he addressed with Rashid.
