HYDERABAD: Former BJP leader and Goshamahal MLA T Raja Singh has complained of receiving repeated death threats through phone calls and letters delivered to his residence, and has appealed to Union Home Minister Amit Shah for security cover for himself and his family. In his letter, the Goshamahal MLA said the threats have also begun targeting his family members. He alleged that despite filing multiple complaints, the administration has not taken action, leaving them in serious danger, according to news agency ANI. “For an extended period, I have been subjected to relentless death threats-via phone calls and letters delivered to my residence. These threats have now escalated to explicitly target not just me, but my family members.
While I have dutifully lodged multiple complaints with the local police, there has been a complete failure of action. The administration has shown either negligence or an unwillingness to act, leaving my family and me exposed to grave danger.
This is my last letter on this issue. I will not beg for security anymore. I have exercised restraint and followed the due process of law, but my patience has reached its breaking point.
I hold the administration accountable for the safety of my family,” said Singh. The MLA has demanded a thorough probe into the source of the threats and strict punishment for those responsible.“I demand the following: An immediate, high-level, time-bound investigation into the source of these threats. Swift identification, arrest, and exemplary punishment for the individuals and groups behind this conspiracy,” said Singh. However, Singh claimed that despite repeated complaints, he has not received any response from the Union Home Ministry. He warned that he would be forced to defend himself if any harm comes to him or his family.“Before this, I have also sent many letters. I have received threat calls on my mobile number and threat letters at my office. I have always updated you and your office on this matter, but in return, I only receive an acknowledgement letter-nothing else, and no follow-up on the previous threats. Let me make one thing very clear: If any harm comes to my family or any member of my family because of these people, I will not go to the police again.
I will pick up the weapon myself and destroy those responsible. Whatever happens after that will be on the heads of those who ignored my complaints. I hope you take this seriously and act now,” added Singh.
