NEW DELHI: Former Delhi BJP
media head Naveen Kumar Jindal on Wednesday alleged that he had received
threats via e-mails, which also had videos of the Udaipur "beheading"
incident. He also demanded security for himself and his family.
“This is not the first threat. I have received
hundreds of threats through social media, phone calls and messages in the past
one month but Delhi Police has not strengthened my security cover although I
have written half a dozen times to officials, including the commissioner of
police," he said.
Kumar was expelled from the
BJP, where he headed media cell of party's Delhi unit, while national
spokesperson of the party Nupur Sharma was suspended last month, over their
remarks on the Prophet.
"This morning around 6.43
am, I have received 3 emails with a video of brother Kanhaiya Lal's throat
being slit. They (accused) threatened me and my family with such threats. I
have informed the Police Control Room," Jindal tweeted. He also attached
screenshots of the alleged e-mail threats.
Jindal's Y+ security cover was
withdrawn in September last year. He said he has been currently provided with
only two policemen although he felt "real danger" after the Udaipur
incident.
"I live with my wife and
mother. I have shifted my children to some other place since the threats were
issued to me. I have to often go out when I am exposed to any eventuality as
only one policeman accompanies me while the other stays back at my house,"
he said.
Two men with a cleaver killed Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur city's Dhan Mandi area on Tuesday and posted videos online that said they were avenging an insult to Islam. (Agencies)
