As it turns out, this was an incorrect assertion by BBC. The Quint and Citizen got in touch with the Uttarakhand cop and he told the portals that there is no truth to the news of him receiving death threats. He told The Quint: “There’s no such thing. In fact, I got to know about this (that I have been receiving death threats) from other people. I have been enjoying my holiday. There is no question of me receiving death threats.”
