SINGAPORE: Two men were arrested separately on Monday for making online threats.

Police said he was the second man to be arrested in relation to the case. Last week, a 23-year-old man was brought in by the police.

Mr Cheng lodged a police report on January 26.
Both cases are classified as Criminal Intimidation under the Penal Code.
