Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, March 16 Former leader of the opposition in the Maharashtra legislative council, Ambdas Danve, has received multiple threatening calls in the last four days, leading to the registration of a non-cognisable (NC) offense against an unidentified person at a local police station.
The caller allegedly threatened to kill the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader.
"Politicians often receive such threats. I received multiple threatening calls since March 12. Although I turned off my phone, the calls continued, after which I met the police commissioner and filed a complaint at a police station," Danve told reporters.
He, however, couldn't identify the reason behind the sudden increase in threatening calls, saying it is the police's responsibility to investigate the matter.
"I have played a significant role in several elections since 1996. I don't know whether the threats are related to election rivalry or any other reason. I have already filed a complaint with the police," Danve added.
An official said that the complaint was filed by Danve's personal assistant, leading to the registration of a non-cognisable (NC) case at Kranti Chowk police station under section 351 (4) of the BNS against an unidentified person.
