    Sanjay Raut, Sharad Pawar receive death threats; Sule demands action

    What's the story

    Shiv Sena (UBT) chief spokesperson Sanjay Raut and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar reportedly received death threats from unknown persons on Friday.

    While Pawar was warned in a Twitter message that his fate would be like that of Dr. Narendra Dabholkar (who was shot dead in Pune in 2013), NCP MP Supriya Sule revealed she received a threat for Pawar on WhatsApp.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    These alleged threats against Raut and Pawar come on the back of the ongoing tension in Maharashtra's Kolhapur over several social media posts that claimed to glorify Mughal emperor Aurangzeb and Mysuru ruler Tipu Sultan.

    Notably, the NCP supremo sharply condemned the violence, which broke out on Wednesday, saying it was "not in line with the culture" of the state.

    According to the news outlet News18, the unknown caller also sent an ultimatum to Raut and asked him to stop his "morning loudspeakers" within a month; otherwise, he would be "sprayed with bullets."

    "This should stop. The responsibility of Pawar Sahab's security lies with the home ministry. The home minister should intervene. Sharad Pawar is the leader of the country," Sule said.

    "I told the police the NCP chief received a threat and cops have said they will take action," she added.

    Earlier on Friday, Sule and other NCP leaders also met Mumbai Police chief Vivek Phansalkar.
