Two people who were backed by pro-Khalistan groups allegedly threated to disrupt the fourth test match between India and Australia match held last week at Narendra Modi Stadium in Gujarat's Ahmedabad. Ahmedabad Crime Branch’s cyber cell arrested both of them, according to a report by India Today.
The threats were issued when Prime Minister Modi and Australian Prime Minister Albanese arrived in the city to attend the first day of the fourth Test between Australia and India at the Narendra Modi Stadium on March 9. The threats were also issued from fake Twitter handles active in Pakistan, the police said.
The accused were using an advanced SIM box technology, which at times is difficult to track, police said. A SIM box allows the operator to manage any number of SIM cards they can handle, according to the India Today report.

The police traced the location of the accused to Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Punjab.
Embarking on the visit, Albanese said he was keen to further deepen Australia's multifaceted relationship with India at a time of extraordinary growth and dynamism, especially in areas of trade, security, and people-to-people links.
