E-mailer remanded

NEW DELHI APRIL 11. A person arrested in Punjab on Tuesday for allegedly sending e-mails threatening to kill the Congress president, Sonia Gandhi, to avenge the 1984 Sikh riots, was today remanded to police custody for ten days. The accused, Kulwant Singh, has been taken to Asansol.

The Metropolitan Magistrate, G.P. Singh, granted police custody after the special cell of the Delhi police, who carried out the arrest, submitted that there was a deep-rooted conspiracy to destabilise the country.

Police told the court that the accused had sent three mails from Asansol and Punjab on March 13, 15 and 22. The mail read, ``Smt. Sonia you are the leader of the people who had killed many of our people cowardly, so we are going to kill you along with your party members by burning you alive in Parliament within one month from now...
