There is no mystery or need for intelligence skullduggery here.
> He suggested one of the chat's other members could have warned the police, but if that were the case, that other member would have to be charged, not Verma This doesn't make sense to me. Why would that other member be charged for reporting a threat?

I'm not suggesting they should be, but just following the same logic as your comment.
