I received a call from an unidentified number and upon answering, the caller asked: ‘Who is speaking?’ I responded, asking the caller’s identity, which led to the caller hurling abuses and making threats in an inaudible language, including ‘you will be killed in broad daylight.
Let’s see if anyone can
protect you.’ Upon returning home, I promptly informed the police and filed an FIR at Dinhata Police Station. Subsequently, the individual was apprehended in Farakka as per police reports.”
