PATNA, July 28 -- Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary received a threat message, in which the sender warned he would be shot within 24 hours. The message, from an unknown number, was sent to the phone of one of his supporters on Saturday night. No FIR had been lodged in this connection, police said. Sources said a WhatsApp message came on cell phone of one of the supporters of Samrat Chaudhary which mentioned, "I will shoot Samrat Chaudhary within 24 hours, I am telling the truth." Soon after the message was received by the supporter, he informed police and they started an investigation in this connection. "Police are taking the help of cyber cell. From which mobile number did the message come? Also, where is its location? In whose name is the number registered, all these things are being investigated," said police officials involved in the investigation. Reacting to the threat, Chaudhary said, "Let anyone who wants to issue threats do so. We are committed to the development of the Bihar." His supporters claimed security had been tightened at both his residence and public event locations. Name of the sender was found to be Vikram Yadav with phone number 6367263657. Earlier this month, Union minister Chirag Paswan received a death threat on social media, wherein the sender claimed to attack the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief with a bomb. The matter was formally reported by the party's chief spokesperson Rajesh Bhatt, at the Cyber Crime Police Station in Patna. The party stated that an Instagram account named "Tiger Meraj Idreesi" had commented on a post by a YouTuber, threatening to kill Chirag Paswan by bombing him. The party described the post as of criminal in nature and said it reflected the accused's involvement in illegal and dangerous activities. The complaint requested immediate arrest and the strictest punishment for the person involved, in light of the seriousness of the threat. Purnia MP Pappu Yadav was among the first to receive such a threat. Rashtriya Lok Janata Dal MP Upendra Kushwaha received seven threat phone calls from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, warning him to stop criticising a particular party or face death within 10 days. Vaishali MP Veena Devi was threatened via a phone call from an unknown number, during which the caller hurled abuses and said, "mar denge" (will kill you) before hanging up. She promptly filed a complaint at the Sadar police station. Similarly, Araria BJP MP Pradeep Singh received a chilling message from a Nepal-based number, demanding the release of the sender's brother from jail and warning of a shooting and bombing if the demand was not met....
