Former husband of Honeypreet Insan, Vishwas Gupta, filed a complaint alleging threat to his life on Thursday, the police said.
Gupta married Honeypreet in 1999 and filed for a divorce in 2011.

In his complaint, Gupta alleged that an unidentified person threatened to kill him, said.
“Gupta filed a complaint with the Sector 4 police post and alleged that an unknown caller threatened to eliminate him. We are examining the complaint,” Station House Officer (SHO) Karnal City Police Station Inspector Rajbir Singh said, adding that he has been provided security.
Earlier, at a press conference in Chandigarh last week, Gupta had alleged that Gurmeet Ram Rahim was still as influential even after being in jail.
“In 2011, Dera chief had threatened to kill me and my life has been in danger since I got married to Honeypreet,” Gupta said while expressing his concerns at the conference.
Honeypreet Insan, against whom the Haryana Police had issued a lookout notice last month in connection with the violence in Panchkula, has been absconding since Dera chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh’s conviction on August 25.
