"This is a trailer. We can end your life, anytime, anywhere. Iran martyr.." the letter reads.

The two names mentioned as martyrs in the letter are --Qasem Soleim (Iran military officer who served in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and was killed in a US airstrike in January 2020) and Mohsen Fakhrizadeh (Iran nuclear scientist assassinated in November 2020).

Delhi police crime investigation team on Saturday morning visited the incident spot and collected samples.
