New Delhi. A shocking and worrying report has surfaced regarding the T20 World Cup 2024 match between India and Pakistan to be held in New York on June 9. According to the report, there is a threat of a terrorist attack on the match. However, no official confirmation has been made yet. The report states that ISIS has made this threat. In response to this potential threat, the police have made tight security arrangements for the India-Pakistan match. Despite the security measures, the news of a possible terrorist attack has raised concerns. Media reports suggest that ISIS-K has released a video indicating a lone attack, in which the attackers are talking about causing disruption during the match. Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder has confirmed the threat and discussed the security measures being taken.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has also commented on the situation surrounding the India-Pakistan match. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), she said that her team is in communication with federal and law enforcement officials, and they are working together to ensure the safety of everyone at the match. Hochul’s post read, “My team is working with federal and local authorities to prepare for the Cricket World Cup. We will ensure the safety of everyone attending the match.”

While there is no credible threat at this time, I’ve directed @nyspolice to elevate security measures & we’ll continue to monitor as the event nears.
