Kota: A man was arrested on Thursday in Rajasthan's Kota for allegedly threatening to shoot leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi and 25 other Congress MPs in a video he posted online, citing their alleged verbal abuse of Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla during the ongoing budget session.Raja Singh Amera claims to be a divisional spokesperson of Karni Sena. But both Karni Sena and BJP have distanced themselves from him, asserting he has no formal ties to either organisation. Speaker Birla is Kota's BJP MP.
In the 0.55-second video clip, Amera warned that he and others would vandalise the MPs' homes and shoot them "one by one." He also said the administration would be responsible if such an act took place.Kota City SP Tejeshwani Goutam said Amera faced four previous cases. The fresh case has been registered under Sections 351, 352 and 353 of BNS, pertaining to criminal intimidation, breach of public peace and mischief.Kota BJP president Rakesh Jain confirmed the party had no link with Amera. Karni Sena's Kota chief Mahipal Singh Roshanda said Amera was neither a spokesperson nor associated with any of the organisation's three wings.
