‘Go to our temple and apologise or…’: Salman Khan receives fresh death threat
The threat, sent via WhatsApp to the Mumbai Police traffic control room, was issued in the name of Lawrence Bishnoi's brother, Anmol Bishnoi.
A man, posing as a member of the Lawrance Bishnoi gang, was arrested from Delhi for allegedly issuing a threat to an independent Lok Sabha MP from Purnea, Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav.
According to the police, the accused, identified as Mahesh Pandey, confessed to the crime and denied that he was linked with any gang.
The MP on October 28 said he received a death threat over the phone after his threat to gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is currently lodged in a Gujarat jail.
