Maha: Police complaint filed citing death threats to Sharad Pawar-led NCP MLA Jitendra Awhad

Mumbai, Oct 19 (UNI) Sharad Pawar-led NCP MLA Jitendra Awhad today said that he has filed a police complaint against unknown persons, after he allegedly received a telephonic death threat on Sunday at 4.30 am.
Awhad shared a mobile phone number and tweeted on his X handle that, “A person called me from the mobile phone number 7038841820 three times. He spoke to me using abusive language on the mobile phone and threatened to kill me. This started from 4.30 am. The person who rang me up, told me that a person is standing at the doorstep of my house to kill me.”
After this incident, when Awhad’s party activist Hemant Wani called the mobile number, the person who picked up the call allegedly threatened to kill Wani as well.
“First I will shoot Jitendra Awhad and then I will shoot you as well. Come out of your residence,” the person allegedly told Sharad Pawar-led NCP activist Hemant Wani.
Shortly thereafter, Wani rushed to the police and filed a formal complaint regarding the death threats.
Incidentally, MLA Awhad, who is known to be an outspoken progressive, has received death threats before.
The reason behind the latest death threat he has received is not yet clear.
Awhad stated that whether the latest death threat is politically motivated or due to some other reason will be revealed only after a thorough police investigation.
The Thane city police have taken cognisance of the threat.
The senior police inspector of Vartaknagar police station has been instructed to investigate and take action in this case.
However, so far, the police has not taken anybody into custody in connection with the alleged death threats to Awhad and his party activist.
