Rajasthan Police on Wednesday set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Lok Sabha MP Ranjita Koli's complaint that someone left behind a threat letter on Tuesday night.

According to the police, a case has been registered against unknown people under sections 384 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and 3/25 of the Arms Act.

The team will investigate the matter under Special Operations Group (SOG) Superintendent of Police (SP) Manish Tripathi.
