Mumbai: Social activist Anjali Damania on Saturday claimed she received a threat call from a Pakistan-based number, asking her to withdraw the cases she has filed against BJP leader Eknath Khadse.
The former Aam Aadmi Party leader said the Truecaller app –which reveals caller identity –showed that the number belongs to "Dawood".
The activist lodged a complaint with the Vakola police station in suburban Santacruz about the call. Police officials from Vakola later visited her home and recorded her statement, she said.
Damania tweeted that she received the call at 12.33 am, asking her to withdraw all cases against Khadse, from a number prefixed with +92 -- the country code of Pakistan. The app flashed "Dawood 2" on the screen, she said in the tweet.
Earlier this month, Damania accused Khadse, a former minister, of making obscene remarks against her and demanded his arrest.
Khadse, however, had denied having made any such remarks against the social activist. Damania said that the caller spoke rudely to her and threatened to make her life difficult.
