The Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Gorakhpur Member of Parliament (MP) and actor Ravi Kishan Shukla received a death threat on Friday (October 31) over a phone call allegedly made from Bihar. The caller, identifying himself as Ajay Kumar Yadav from Jwania village in Ara district (also known as Arrah), issued direct threats to kill the MP. According to officials, the threat call was received by Ravi Kishan’s private secretary, Shivam Dwivedi. During the call, the accused used abusive language and said, “Ravi Kishan comments against Yadavs, so I will shoot him.”
Sources said that when Shivam Dwivedi clarified that the MP had never made any objectionable remarks against any community, the caller grew aggressive and began hurling more abuses at both the MP and his
secretary.
The caller further claimed that he was closely monitoring the MP’s movements and warned, “I know everything about your activities. When you come to Bihar after four days, I will kill you.”
Gorakhpur MP and actor Ravi Kishan said he recently received a threatening phone call in which abusive language was used and offensive remarks were made about his mother and Lord Shri Ram. Terming it a direct attack on his personal dignity, faith, and the cultural values of India, he said such acts are attempts to create division and unrest in society. “These efforts to spread hatred and anarchy will be met with a firm response rooted in democratic values and ideological strength,” he said. He further stated that he neither fears nor will submit to such threats.
