PATNA: The trouble for
Chirag Paswan
seems to have deepened after
Keshav Singh
, principal general secretary of LJP (Paras faction) lodged a police complaint, accusing the Jamui MP and four members of his group of intimidation and hatching a conspiracy to eliminate him.
Singh, in his written compliant lodged with
Shastrinagar police station in Patna
, alleged that he received five calls on his mobile phone between 11.16am and 12.03pm on Wednesday. The caller allegedly threatened him with dire consequences for making Union minister Pashupati Kumar Paras’s visit to Hajipur a grand success on August 23.
Singh also provided the sim number, which was allegedly used to make the threat calls. The call detail record and duration of the calls were also handed over to the police.
Apart from Chirag, Saurabh Pandey, Krishna Singh Kallu, Chandan Singh and Amar Azad figured in the complaint. Chirag’s supporters, however, said it was nothing but an attempt by the Paras group to gain cheap popularity.
Later, Keshav told the media that Krishna and Chandan, both spokespersons of Chirag faction, were heard telling their associates on August 23 that they were plotting to eliminate him (Keshav).
The information was shared to him by his elder son Kanishka Rathaur when he returned home after taking part in the programme of Paras, Singh claimed in the police complaint.
Singh, along with his supporters, had gone to the Patna airport to receive Paras when the incident happened, the police complaint said.
Shastrinagar police station SHO said the allegations against the accused were being verified. “Action will be initiated against the accused only after the allegations were found to be true,” he said.
