The Delhi Police are likely to rope in cyber cell to trace the numbers from which CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury claimed to have received multiple threat calls and messages and will take strict action against the callers, a senior officer said on Sunday.
“We are probing all numbers from which such calls are being made and will take strict action against such callers,” DCP (New Delhi) Jatin Narwal said.
A police official said Yechury filed a police complaint, mentioning all numbers from which he was getting the threats, wherein the callers said that the Left leader has made “wrong” remarks about Goddess Durga in Parliament.
The district police is likely to rope in the cyber cell for probing the matter, the official added. Yechury had on Saturday said that he received several threat calls and text messages.
“What they are saying is all nonsense as I did not say anything of that sort. There is not even one mention of Durga. My speech is on Youtube. This is a deliberate campaign against me,” Yechury had said without naming anyone.
