The threats were issued to executive engineer YK Jain after an LDA team put its own locks on 100 flats in the colony. Even as the exercise was underway, the student leader owing allegiance to the ruling Samajwadi Party called up Jain on his cellphone at 4.22 pm and told him not to touch the flat he has grabbed in the Rupayan block of the Enclave.

“He called me up at least four times. I subsequently informed the LDA vice chairman, secretary and the chief engineer about the incident,” said Jain. When I told this fellow that I was going to lodge an FIR against him, he went straight to the SSP’s residence apparently to preempt the move, he added. “He then rang me up again to say that he was at the SSP’s residence and that he knew that I had informed media-persons about the incident. You are finished if my name appears in the news papers,” said the LDA engineer. Following the threat, Jain, has hired two private security guards at his own expense.
