One Basant Prajapati and his supporters threatened journalist of The Pioneer Vikas Tyagi here on Sunday, by reaching his (Tyagi's) residence. A complaint in this regard has been filed and the police are investigating the case.
Police said that Prajapati is constructing a three storey building cum small factory behind the residence of Tyagi. Alleging that the building was being constructed without permission and authorised map drawing passed by Mhowgaon Municipality, Tyagi, around a week ago complained about construction of three storey building in ward number 7.
Tyagi alleged that the building is coming up besides the drain on soft soil and weak foundation and pillars and which can cave in towards Tyagi's house. Acting on the complaint, Mhow SDM Akshat Jain instructed CMO Mhowgaon Nagar Parishad Dilip Shrivastava who stopped the construction, but again on Sunday due to government holiday Prajapati again started the construction for which Vikas Tyagi again informed the administration and again his work was stopped.
This annoyed Prajapati and he along with his supporters reached the residence of Tyagi and abused him and threatened of dire consequences. Tyagi immediately called at Mhow police control room and within few minutes the policemen arrived at Tyagi's house and saved him.
