With top Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) leaders were claiming that the criminals had either cancelled their bail and went to jail or had left the State fearing stern action, but a ruling Party MlA from Dibai in Bulundshahr, Anita lodhi, is reportedly living in fear just as someone had made an extortion call and threatened her with dire consequences in case of non-compliance of his order.
lodhi, who is presently living in Ghaziabad but hailed from Bulundshar so she reportedly lodged a case in this regard and both the districts and had also demanded immediate action against the culprits. Reports said that finding the matter related to ruling Party MlA, senior officers in both the districts had formed separate teams to identify the culprit and had also sought help in this regard from the sleuths of the Special Task Force (STF).
Reports said that someone sent a whattsapp message on the mobile number of Anita lodhi, asking her to deliver Rs 10 lakh as extortion or ready to face the consequences. The miscreant, who identified himself as Ali Budesh Bhai from Dubai, also made voice call as well as video call, asking lodhi that he had photographs of all her family members and had distributed them amongst his gang members and in case of non-compliance of his orders, he will initiate further action against her and her family members.
Reports said that what feared the MlA and she suspected to be some big criminal giving her threats is that no small criminal could dare to give threats to ruling Party MlA and that how come, he was aware that whom she contacted to seek action against the accused. Taking congnizance of the matter, senior superintendent of police of both Ghaziabad and Bulundshahr, registered separate cases and had formed teams to identify the miscreant and lay a trap on him. They also strengthened the security of the MlA. However, so far their efforts went in vein.
Meanwhile, the BJP MlA from Mohamedi in lakhimpur Kheri, lokendra Pratap Singh, is also getting similar extortion call on his whatsapp number for the last two days. He also reported the matter to the local police. DIG (law and order) Praveen Kumar, claimed here on Tuesday evening that they were working on the cases and very soon, the culprits will be brought to book.
