Byndoor JDS candidate Ravi Shetty gets threat call from Dubai
Udupi, May 4: Byndoor JDS candidate Ravi Shetty has reportedly got threatening call from Dubai from an unknown person who asked Shetty withdraw from contesting the election, according to a complaint lodged in Kollur police station.
Speaking to reporters here on Friday, Shetty said that when he was campaigning on May 3, he received an international call from an unknown person who threatened him to withdraw his candidature or face the consequence. Against this, he has lodged a complaint at Kollur police station and informed the deputy commissioner and the SP. Responding to his complaint, the department has provided security to him, he said.
He has received another call on April 17 from a local person who asked money for campaigning. When he declined to give money, he asked to join BJP. He has given that phone number also to the police. After two days of that call, someone has done black magic against him in front of his house. He has also complained against this to Byndoor police, he said.
As he has been trying to organize the party, some people have been trying to threaten him. He would not budge for such action, instead he would intensify the campaigning, he added.
Party district president Yogesh Shetty, state secretary Shekar Kotian, Byndoor constituency president Sandesh Bhat and spokesperson Pradeep G were present.
