This alarming discovery has prompted a high-priority police investigation, with authorities urging citizens to exercise extreme caution when accepting deliveries from unknown persons.
Morning Delivery Turns Terrifying
The victim, identified as Manisha Patel, reported that an unknown youth delivered a parcel to her home at approximately 7:30 AM on Monday. Assuming it was a routine delivery, Patel opened the package, only to find a pistol, which was later determined to be illegal, and a threatening letter. The suspicious package sparked immediate panic, as Patel's screams alerted family members and neighbors, who rushed to the spot and promptly reported the incident to the Dwarkapuri police station.
Specific Warning and Forensic Probe
Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Anand Kaladgi revealed that the letter contained a specific warning concerning the family and its well-being.

He confirmed that a First Information Report (FIR) has been registered in the matter, and the police have seized both the pistol and the parcel for detailed forensic analysis.
The ongoing investigation is currently focused on determining whether the pistol is functional or merely a replica. For this purpose, the weapon has been sent for forensic examination to ascertain its operational status and gather any potential evidence.
Police Efforts to Identify Suspect
Police teams are actively reviewing CCTV footage from around the Dwarkapuri area to identify the suspect and track his movements. They are also meticulously examining the sender's details and the logistics path of the package to trace its origin. The sleuths are exploring multiple angles, including whether this act stems from an old grudge or is part of a broader conspiracy designed to intimidate the family.
Authorities have reiterated their caution to the public, emphasizing the need for vigilance when handling unexpected deliveries. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers lurking in seemingly innocuous packages, urging residents to verify sources before accepting parcels from unfamiliar individuals.
