LONDON: A man arrested for threatening to shoot Nigel Farage in the head has a profile picture of a British Asian man on his social media and has tweeted \u201cHindu phrases\u201d, a UK newspaper said.The Metropolitan police confirmed to TOI that a man in his 20s was arrested on Tuesday at a residential address in south London on suspicion of sending threatening communications to an MP.The threat directed at the Reform UK leader said \u201cI am going to shoot you in the head if you win\u201d and was posted on X in May.The Daily Telegraph said that the suspect described himself as a terrorist on social media and his profile picture on X is of a British Asian man. \u201cHe \u2026 describes himself as a Liberal Democrat,\u201d the Telegraph wrote. TOI has not seen the account.The tweet was identified by parliament\u2019s security information and risk analysis service and was reported to the Metropolitan police\u2019s parliamentary liaison and investigations team as a threat directed towards a serving MP. It was then reported to police on May 8.A Met spokesperson said: \u201cAfter receiving the report, detectives submitted an application to a social media platform to gain access to the user\u2019s contact information. After the relevant information was returned to detectives the man was arrested, with support from local Met officers.\u201dAfter being held in police custody overnight, the man has been released on police bail pending further enquiries.Farage told The Telegraph: \u201cThis is the first time the police have ever proactively acted on a social media post, and I hope they are looking at the other 300 or 400 similar posts from this year alone. This has been going on for years \u2014 not just words but videos of people firing guns and so on \u2014 and in the past we have always been told by the police that these social media posts don\u2019t meet the threshold, which is extraordinary.\u201dIncoming PM Andy Burnham said a \u201cserious review\u201d is needed of MPs\u2019 security following the murder of Reform UK politician Ann Widdecombe last week as \u201cpolitics has darkened in the last decade\u201d.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
