Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been targeted by a Twitter account which earlier pledged allegiance to the Islamic State (IS), The Hindu reported.
The pro-IS Twitter account was suspended after it had called for a “car bomb” attack during US President Barack Obama’s visit to India last month but has now been restored and this time has targeted the Indian prime minister.
“Modi Obama the two Enemy of Allah. #26 January#flag hosting#car bomb#chemical,” said a tweet through the new account @Magnetgas1 on January 25, adding: “The people of kufr is one Millah.#Modi#Obama.”
The account is suspected to be operated by one of the four alleged IS recruits from Mumbai and displayed the location of the owner in Turkey.
The account is being followed by over 500 people and has 220 pro-IS messages, all just in a matter of days.
Intelligence agencies have intensified the surveillance of all pro-IS propaganda activities on social media after observing the increased instances of Indian nationals making attempts to enter the war stricken areas of Syria and Iraq.
