Ludhiana: Congress leader Ravneet Singh Bittu claimed on Sunday that he had received a call threatening him to stop speaking against Khalistani sympathiser and preacher Amritpal Singh, reported PTI.
Bittu, a three-time MP from Ludhiana, is the grandson of ex-Punjab CM Beant Singh who was assassinated in 1995.
Bittu, currently in Raipur for the 85th plenary session of Congress, said he received a threat call from an unknown caller from an international number.
“The caller said I should stop speaking against Amritpal Singh or else face dire consequences,” Bittu was quoted as saying by the news agency.
An investigation has been launched after a complaint was registered at Ghumar Mandi police post, Ludhiana.
Amritpal, the chief of radical group ‘Waris Punjab Ke’, recently threatened Union Home Minister Amit Shah if he tried to scuttle the Khalistan movement.
Amritpal’s supporters, some of them with swords and guns, stormed into a police station in Ajnala on Thursday, demanding that his aide Lovepreet Singh be released from police custody. Lovepreet, an accused in a kidnapping case, was released a day later.
