Amid reports of Maoists’ plans of assassinating the prime minister, a ‘UFO’ sighting over Narendra Modi’s Lok Kalyan Marg residence in New Delhi gave some anxious moments to the security personnel.

According to a report in The Hindustan Times, the security agencies came to know about the incident on June 7, when such a claim was made.

However, after a detailed combing operation, the agencies didn’t find anything substantial.

‘The sighting was reported but nothing threatening was found. More details cannot be shared keeping security reasons in mind,’ Delhi Police chief spokesperson Dependra Pathak was quoted as saying by the Hindustan Times.

The report also mentions earlier incidents in September last year when the security agencies were informed about drone-like device hovering over the Prime Minister’s residence. 

With the assassination plot coming out in public, the security agencies are leaving no stone unturned in PM Modi’s security. 

The police in Pune  had told a court earlier this month that they had seized a "letter" from the Delhi residence of one of the five people arrested for having alleged "links" with the banned CPI (Maoist).

The purported letter allegedly mentioned of a plan to "assassinate" Prime Minister Narendra Modi in "another Rajiv Gandhi-type incident", the police told the court. 

On political front, Opposition parties are saying that the assassination plot is just BJP’s ploy to gain sympathy. 

On June 10, Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar launched a scathing attack against ruling BJP over the threat to the Prime minister and chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and claimed that BJP's is coming down, hence it has come up with threat letter conspiracy. 

Speaking on the issue of recent statements reports that PM Modi and CM Fadnavis have received threats allegedly by maoists, Pawar said, "After these reports of threat letters, a retired police official told me that when such letters comes, it does not go to media but it goes to the security agencies and additional security measures are taken."
