Rajesh Ranjan, also known as Pappu Yadav, a Lok Sabha member from Purnia, Bihar, has reported receiving death threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Yadav has formally notified the Union Home Ministry, stating that for the past three days, he has been receiving repeated calls from individuals allegedly linked to Bishnoi’s gang, warning him against making statements about Bishnoi.
In his letter, Yadav disclosed that these threats were not only from an anonymous caller but also from Bishnoi himself. The MP also informed Bihar’s Chief Minister of the situation and provided evidence to support his claims. According to Yadav, the caller alleged that Bishnoi attempted to contact him personally when the jammer at Sabarmati Jail in Ahmedabad was deactivated for ten minutes, though Yadav missed the call.
Yadav’s appeal to the Union Home Ministry seeks intervention and security, underscoring the gravity of the threats. As one of the latest incidents highlighting security concerns related to organized crime in India, the issue has garnered attention, with officials expected to look into these claims and ensure the MP’s safety.
