“Filed a complaint with @DelhiPolice regarding Ravi Pujari’s death threat to Jignesh and me. He said that I am on his HIT LIST! I have asked for police protection, given the fact that this is the same person who had previously also issued similar threats of killing me in Feb 2016 (sic),” he said.

In 2016, Khalid’s father Syed Qasim Illyas Rasool had filed a police complaint, claiming he received a phone call “threatening to kill” his son if he doesn’t leave the country.
The previous incident happened when the police was looking for Khalid in connection with the sedition case filed against him, former JNU students’ union president Kanhaiya Kumar and Anirban Bhattacharya for allegedly organising an event against the hanging of 2001 Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru, who was hanged in 2013.
Dalit leader and Independent MLA from Gujarat Jignesh Mevani has also alleged on Friday that he has received death threats from Pujari.
Mevani took to Twitter saying, “Day 3, threat call continues from Ravi Pujari. Today again I received a threat call on my original number from a person introducing himself as Ravi Pujari from Australia and also sent a text saying – “stop giving provocative speeches or will shot you. Umar Khalid is also in list”.
