Patna: Once again news has come out about a senior leader receiving death threats in Bihar. This time the target is the state’s Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary. He has been threatened with death by an unknown person through phone calls and messages. Earlier Union Minister Chirag Paswan and Rajya Sabha MP Upendra Kushwaha were threatened.
This incident adds another serious chapter to the increasing number of threat incidents in Bihar. In recent months, many politicians have received similar calls and threatening messages. However, in previous incidents, the police have arrested many criminals and sent them to jail.
According to the information, Samrat Chaudhary’s worker received a threatening call. In which it was said that “I will shoot Samrat Chaudhary within 24 hours, I am telling the truth.” His security team immediately took the matter seriously and informed Patna police about it. After this, the security agencies started the preliminary investigation of the mobile number 6367263657.
In the initial investigation, this number was found registered in the name of Vikram Yadav on the Truecaller app. However, it is not clear whether this name is real or fake. Police is now investigating in this direction as well.
Patna police has taken this matter seriously and has started the process of tracking the identity and location of the person who threatened. According to the officials, they are investigating the SIM details, call detail record (CDR) and location data of that number. Police believes that the exact location of the mobile can be the key to reach the accused.
