The petition filed through advocate Sandeep Goyat states that the INLD leader’s personal assistant has been getting constant calls on WhatsApp and voice messages from unknown numbers, saying that if he (Abhay) did not stop raising the voice of people, he would be eliminated. It also states that on July 17 around 9 pm calls were made and voice messages sent, threatening to kill him.
Police registered an FIR in this regard on receiving a complaint from Abhay’s PA Ramesh Godara, who had approached the Jind Sadar police alleging that a WhatsApp call from an international number starting with +44 made a threatening call on July 17. TNN
