Gorakhpur, Nov 4
A man, who allegedly abused and threatened to kill BJP MP and actor Ravi Kishan, has been arrested in Ludhiana on Tuesday.
The accused, Ajay Kumar Yadav, a resident of Bagga Kalan, Ludhiana, Punjab, has been sent to jail by the police.
Amid the ongoing Bihar poll campaign, Ravi Kishan had lodged a police complaint on November 1, alleging that he had received death threats and abusive calls containing derogatory remarks about his family and religious beliefs.
Officials said that an FIR was registered at the Ramgarh Taal Police Station in Gorakhpur following his complaint.
In a post on the social media platform X, dated October 31, Ravi Kishan had detailed the nature of the threats he received.
"I recently received abusive calls in which not only I but also my mother was insulted. I was threatened with death, and derogatory remarks were made against Lord Shri Ram. This is not just an attack on my personal dignity but also on our faith and Indian culture. Such acts are attempts to incite hatred and unrest, and they will be countered with democratic and ideological strength," he wrote.
