Earlier on February 21, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde also received a death threat.

Eknath Shinde responded to a recent death threat, stating that such threats were not new to him.

“Threats have come before too. There were many threats when the dance bar was closed. There were threats to kill me, and attempts were made, but I was not afraid. The Naxalites had threatened me, but I did not give in to their threats… I did the work of starting the first industrial project in Gadchiroli,” he said.

The Mumbai police arrested two persons from Buldhana in connection with an email threatening to bomb the car of the Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister. (ANI)
