Rajasthan Congress MLA’s son alleges threats by father’s core team
Congress MLA Vishvendra Singh’s son Anirudh submitted a complaint to the Superintendent of Police, Bharatpur, on Thursday
The son of Congress MLA and former minister Vishvendra Singh has accused his father’s core team of threatening him. Singh, who was holding the tourism department, was removed last year due to rebellion against chief minister Ashok Gehlot.
Singh’s son Anirudh submitted a complaint to the Superintendent of Police, Bharatpur, on Thursday alleging that the ‘core team’ of his father and Deeg–Kumher (Bharatpur) MLA Vishvendra Singh was continuously threatening him.
“The threats are of extremely serious nature, threatening to cause all kinds of physical injuries to me and people who accompany me,” he alleged in the complaint.
He further stated, “If any harm is done to me, the responsibility of the same would rest with Vishvendra Singh.”
Superintendent of Police, Bharatpur Devendra Kumar said, “He has submitted a complaint in which he is mentioning some core team (of Vishvendra Singh), which allegedly is threatening him. The circle officer, Bharatpur city has been asked to probe the issue.”
“The allegations made in the complaint are being probed. Based on the facts which come in the probe, the decision about registering the case will be taken accordingly,” he said.
The MLA Vishvendra Singh could not be reached for comments as he did not respond to the calls.
This is not the first case when Anirudh has come face to face with his father. Earlier, Anirudh Singh had tweeted against his father.
The former minister was among the 19 MLAs who rebelled against the leadership of Gehlot in July last year, which had led to a political crisis. He, along with then deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot and then food and civil supply minister Ramesh Meena, was terminated from the cabinet, following the rebelion.
