The SP MP has also filed an FIR in this regard but stated that police were not very keen to probe “the serious matter”.

Addressing a press conference at the SP headquarters in Lucknow on Saturday, Rai said, “I have been getting threat calls from a local and a Pakistani phone number. The caller, who spoke normal Hindi, first took my son’s name and then threatened me. I have also filed an FIR in this regard on 23rd September, but nothing concrete has been done in this regard yet by the police.”

“I don’t have a criminal background; except one false political case I don’t have any case against me. I was having Y-category security cover in the previous regime, but as soon as the BJP government came to power, all of a sudden, my security cover was withdrawn. I have also written to the Union home minister in this regard,” added Rai, who is considered an influential leader in the Purvanchal region of the state.
