This is the second threat e-mail received by Patnaik's office within a fortnight. The earlier e-mail was received on March 27.

Asking the Orissa government to stop anti-Maoists operation in Koraput and Malkangiri, the e-mail claimed that they had been successful in eliminating 11 security personnel by triggering a land mine blast at Baipariguda on Sunday. The e-mail sender also threatened to paralyse Orissa government's official website.

The recent e-mail came at a time when the Orissa police was yet to identify its sender of the earlier e-mail.
