Initial investigations have suggested that the call waa from the number that Eknath Khadse was alleged to have called. Earlier this month, the Vakola Police had booked Khadse for allegedly making “obscene’ remarks� against Damania in a speech at a public function.
Damania was informed about that speech by an associate of hers. Damania has tweeted to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister
Rajnath Singh to take action.
I appeal to PM @narendramodi@PMOIndia & @rajnathsingh to give me time to urgently see them.Threat call? to a citizen? I want my Govt to act
