PATNA: Independent MP from Purnia, Pappu Yadav, who recently described the Lawrence Bishnoi gang as “petty thugs”, alleged on Monday that he received death threat from the gang. Yadav alleged that the threat came amid his supposed closeness to Bollywood actor Salman Khan, whom Bishnoi gang had earlier targeted.
The threat call, suspected to have been made by jailed gangster Aman Sahu, who claims allegiance to Bishnoi, came on the heels of Yadav attacking Bishnoi in a series of social media posts on Oct 13, a day after NCP leader Baba Siddique’s murder and Bishnoi claiming responsibility for the killing.
The call was reportedly made a UAE number. Aman Sahu is at present incarcerated in Ranchi while Bishnoi is lodged in Sabarmati Jail in Ahmedabad.
Yadav shot off a letter to Union home minister Amit Shah on Oct 26, saying that he received death threat on his mobile phone from a member of the Bishnoi gang. “I am attaching a copy of the threat as evidence. Even after such a big threat to my life, the Centre and the state govt are not paying attention to my security,” he wrote. Yadav, who is provided with Y category security, requested Shah for an upgrade to Z.
