A day after MNS Chief Raj Thackeray received death threats from a 'Bihari' organisation, the Maharashtra government has provided him with 'Y' security cover.

"Earlier this week, Raj received a letter from a Bihari organisation which said one of their members would kill him (Raj) as he is dividing the nation," Raj's lawyer Shayaji Nagare said.
