Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], March 5 (ANI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah denied having received a threat call, and said that he had not received any threat call.

"The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is doing its investigation. They have also arrested five people. I do not know whom they have arrested," said the CM.
