LUCKNOW, Sept. 6 -- Threatening posts on Instagram have triggered fresh fear in the family of slain Haryanvi singer Ankit Balyan, prompting Shamli police to strengthen their security, officials said on Saturday.

"Two days, 48 hours. big surprise soon." Another Instagram post says, "It's just the beginning. The blasts are yet to happen. if you want to see the blasts, stay connected with us."
