Ajay Agrawal receives threat letter

Ajay Agrawal, who was BJP's Lok Sabha candidate from UP's Rae Bareli constituency in the 2014 parliamentary election, has claimed to have received a threat letter at his office here, police said today.
In his complaint to the police, Agrawal said that the letter was received at his office here in south-east Delhi's Jangpura Extension on August 31 when he was at Rae Bareli attending a public function. He opened the letter on September 2 and reported the matter to the police.
An FIR has been registered under Sections 506/507 (criminal intimidation) of IPC, said a police officer.
Agrawal, who is also a senior lawyer at the Supreme Court, has claimed that the letter was sent by a person who represents a community and allegedly threatened to kill him (Agrawal) for any sort of intervention in their pursuits.

In 2010, Agrawal escaped an alleged murder attempt while he was at Moradabad for some work and he was given protection after the incident. Presently he enjoys Z-category security at UP and Y-Category security in Delhi.
"Investigation of the case is underway," the police officer added.
