One of the letters, addressed in English and Arabic said: "Be warned that if Indian guru Ravi Shankar steps foot in Malaysia or any other Muslim country, this is what will happen him," with a picture of a beheaded man on ground.
The letters, sent by courier to AoL at Selangor in Malaysia, further said: "We will destroy all the venues where his activities are happening and thousands of people will die because of him."
The letters also accused Ravi Shankar of meddling in the Islamic affairs of Iran and Iraq.
