It wasn't anyone from the underworld but a jilted lover from Central Delhi who had sent threat SMSes to Union Minister Shashi Tharoor.

The cops have arrestedu00a0Narender, a resident of Patel Nagar, for sending threatening and malicious messages not only to Tharoor but also to a dozen MPs, including Brinda Karat and Mahmood Madani.

Narender confessed before the cops that he had sent the messages from two SIM cards, which he procured using Manik Verma's name.

Narender had asked Tharoor to apologise to Lalit Modi or else he'd kill him.

In fact, he and Verma were in love with the same girl and Narender did this to slander Verma so that he gets out of his way.

Narender told cops that he stole Verma's driving licence, took his photograph from a social networking website and submitted them to procure SIM cards.
