Meerut (Uttar Pradesh)(PTI): An FIR has been registered here against Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's personal assistant on a complaint from party member and actor Archana Gautam's father who alleged that his daughter was threatened with death, police said on Wednesday.
On a complaint from Gautam's father, Sandeep Singh has been booked under Indian Penal Code sections 504 (intentional insult), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult modesty of a woman), Meerut Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Rohit Singh Sajwan said.
He has also been charged under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, the SSP said and added that the case has been registered at the Partapur police station.
In his complaint, Gautam Buddha said Singh had called his daughter to Raipur in Chhattisgarh during the party's plenary session last month saying Priyanka Gandhi wanted to meet her. There he misbehaved with her and also "threatened with death", he said in his complaint.
Gautam Buddha also alleged that Singh made casteist remarks against Archana Gautam, police said and added that he claimed a video of the incident can be obtained from a camera person in Raipur.

Bidar: Miscreants again insult Dr. Ambedkar's portrait
Bidar: Miscreants have once again insulted a portrait of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar displayed on a banner in the village of Villaspur, located within the jurisdiction of the Janawada Police Station.
It has been reported that, during the night, the portrait of Dr. Ambedkar on a banner celebrating the Bhima Koregaon Victory was desecrated with black paint. Upon noticing this in the morning, Dalit community members gathered at the location and expressed their outrage, immediately informing the police.
On December 12, a similar incident occurred when a slipper was thrown at the Ambedkar statue in Villaspur. District authorities had visited the scene, and Dalit organisations across the district staged protests in condemnation of the act. Two individuals were arrested in connection with that incident.
The Janawada Police PSI has visited the scene of the current incident.
