MLC and former Minister Basavaraj Horatti, who is in the forefront of the Lingayat movement, received another anonymous letter on Thursday indicating about the threat to his life.
On Monday, he had received a letter through post, in which the sender who identified himself as Mr. Horatti’s follower had said that he would like to bring to Mr. Horatti’s notice that a five-member team had arrived in Hubballi from Mumbai to kill him and he should be careful.
Mr. Horatti had brought it to the notice of the police and subsequently a complaint was registered at Suburban Police Station in Hubballi.
Police Commissioner M.N. Nagaraj told presspersons on Thursday that they were investigating and had provided security to Mr. Horatti.
The staff at Mr. Horatti’s home office said that the second letter had the same content of the first letter. While the first letter was posted from Unakal, the second letter was posted from Navanagar, they added.
