Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Sanjeev Jha has claimed that he is receiving death threats in the name of gangster Neeraj Bawana. Jha has said that Rs 10 lakh has been demanded from him.
The Delhi Police claims that an FIR has been filed under sections 387 of the Indian Penal Code and 66c of the IT Act as a result of the AAP MLA’s allegation. The case was reported to the Special Cell due to the seriousness of the situation.
“On June 20, at 11:49 p.m., I received a call from someone identifying himself as Vicky Cobra, Bawana’s brother. I brushed him off and ended the call. He then gave me a voicemail recording in which he made a 10 lakh rupee demand. In addition, the sender threatened to harm my family if his demands weren’t satisfied “Jha said in his grievance.
The AAP MLA from Burari said to the police that the caller had threatened him with 35 voicemails, 15 SMS, and 15 phone calls.
An investigation is being conducted by a special team. The caller had been recognized, according to the police, and he would shortly be apprehended.
Further investigation in the matter is on.
