Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Friday alleged that he received a death threat from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang through text messages. He has filed a police complaint against the jailed gangster who in a threat mentioned that he will receive the same fate as Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala.

Raut in a complaint said that Bishnoi has sent him a threatening letter for his anti-Hindu comments. Raut, who reportedly received a threatening message on WhatsApp reads, Tu Delhi me mil, tujhe AK-47 se uda dunga. Tera bhi moosewala ho jayega. (Meet me in Delhi and you will be shot with AK-47. You will meet the same fate as Sidhu Moose Wala).

The message further reads, Salman aur tu fix, which means that both Sanjay Raut and Salman Khan would be killed.

Shiv Sena leader said after Eknath Shinde’s government came to power, the security of leaders of their camp was downgraded. He said he never wrote a letter about this, but time and again the son of CM with goons planned a conspiracy against them and when they inform the Home Ministry about this, they call it a stunt, he added.

He further said that he knows the truth but has to keep the decorum. He said he informed the police about the threat and is not scared of anyone. What did the Home Minister do? He said he received similar threats when he was lodged in jail.

Earlier, jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi also threatened Salman Khan for killing blackbuck in 1998. Bishnoi threatened Ek Tha Tiger star and asked him to apologize in the media for killing their sacred animal otherwise he will be shot dead.

The death threat calls intensified by the Bishnoi gang after he and Goldy Brar claimed responsibility for killing Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala in Punjab’s Mansa district in May last year after his security was downgraded.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has hit back at the allegations leveled by Home Minister Amit Shah and challenged him to name the CBI officials involved in pressuring him to frame his party colleague and then Gujarat CM Narendra Modi in a fake encounter case.

Gehlot, while speaking to the media, said that if Delhi Police can ask for the details of the alleged sexual assault victims in Jammu and Kashmir from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, then the police can do the same and ask for the names of the CBI officers who allegedly pressurized Shah to frame Modi.

Gehlot spoke to the media and slammed the Police for reaching the house of Rahul Gandhi, following the notice, even though the Congress leader had said that he will respond to the notice. Rajasthan CM also asked if Delhi Police will treat Amit Shah’s claims the same way it did to Rahul Gandhi’s claims and question Home Minister.

Rajasthan CM was referring to the questioning done by Delhi police on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi after he claimed that during the Bharat Jodo Yatra, he claimed to have met women who were allegedly still getting sexually assaulted in the Union Territory. Following the claims by the Congress leader and more than a month after the conclusion of Bharat Jodo Yatra, Delhi police served notice to the Congress leader and arrived at his residence to question him on it.

CM Ashok Gehlot’s challenge to Union Home Minister Amit Shah comes after he spoke to the media in a Media conclave and leveled that the CBI had pressured him to frame the then Gujarat CM Narendra Modi in a fake encounter case. At the time, UPA was in power, highlighted the home minister.

Home Minister Amit Shah’s claims came as a counter to the Opposition that has alleged misuse of central agencies against the Opposition Parties for political benefits and dubbed it to be vendetta politics.

The Delhi court on Friday dismissed the bail plea of former Deputy Delhi Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in connection with the now-scrapped liquor policy scam.

A special CBI court in Delhi’s Rouse Avenue headed by M K Nagpal rejected the bail application of the senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader in a CBI case pertaining to the alleged irregularities in the framing and implementation of the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy.

Sisodia’s bail plea was rejected by the court even after his lawyers argued that the central probe agency did not find any incriminating evidence against him during the investigation.

Earlier, the court extended the CBI custody of the former education minister of Delhi because it alleged that the minister didn’t cooperate with the CBI team during the interrogation. However, this time Sisodia’s lawyers argued that he cooperated in the investigation and none of the CBI’s searches revealed anything that would require his further custody.

Opposing Sisodia’s bail plea, Advocate DP Singh, a special public prosecutor for CBI, said Manish Sisodia may not be a flight risk, but he is a definite risk who will destroy evidence. A person is a saint till his irregularities and illegalities are not discovered, he added.

The probe agency also claimed that Sisodia said he destroyed phones as he wanted to upgrade them but nothing of that kind happened.

Manish Sisodia is being separately interrogated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the money laundering case linked to the Delhi liquor policy scam.

Sisodia was arrested by the CBI on February 26 and was later arrested by the ED in March 9 in Tihar Jail. Meanwhile, Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court extended the judicial custody of Sisodia till April 5.
