Chakrapani, who claims allegiance to the Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha, said he got a telephone call and some SMSes from two unidentified numbers. The callers warned that "I will be set ablaze the way I had burnt the car", he said.

Chakrapani said he met Home Minister Rajnath Singh in this regard who offered him 'Z' grade security. He said he refused the security cover he is "not a political leader".
