Days after Bihar Police arrested an accused in connection with a threatening call made to Pappu Yadav while posing as an associate of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, a similar complaint was lodged on Thursday (November 7) with Delhi Police. Yadav's PA, Mohammad Sadique Alam, reported that Yadav had allegedly received another death threat from a member of the Bishnoi gang.
According to the information received, Alam filed a complaint against an unknown assailant at the Connaught Place police station, stating that he had received two threatening messages on his phone. The sender, who claimed to be associated with Lawrence Bishnoi, threatened to eliminate Yadav.
Speaking to the media, Alam said the first message was received on his mobile phone at 2:25 am, while the second one was sent at 9:49 am. "We immediately reported the matter to the police after informing our seniors," Alam added.
Meanwhile, it is pertinent to note that the incident comes days after Bihar Police on Saturday (November 2) said they had arrested a person in connection to the threatening call made to the Parliament MP from Bihar's Purnea earlier last month.
According to the information received, the accused, identified as Mahesh Pandey, was arrested from New Delhi and is presently being interrogated. The police said while the accused confessed to his crime of contacting the MP through WhatsApp, using a SIM card he had borrowed from his wife's sister, who lives in the UAE; however, no connection was found between him (the accused) and the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
"The accused (Pandey) played the prank on Yadav, whose number he found out from Google, upon coming across reports of the MP's outbursts against Bishnoi soon after the assassination of former Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Baba Siddiqui in Mumbai," the police official stated.
