New Delhi, November 2: The Bihar police have on Saturday arrested a man from Delhi who posed as jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's aide to allegedly threaten independent MP Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav, 

A case was registered in Bihar's Purnea, the MP's constituency, based on reports surfacing about the threat in social media. Yadav reportedly received the call from a “Dubai number” and also sent letters to Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, asking for enhanced security cover.

 The Purnea Police traced the caller to Delhi and arrested a man named Mahesh Pandey. During questioning, Pandey confessed that he called the MP through WhatsApp, using a SIM card he had borrowed from his wife's sister who lives in the UAE.

Police have also seized the mobile phone and SIM card used by Pandey to make the alleged threat call. The accused reportedly made the call to the MP after the latter's recent outburst against Bishnoi after the assassination of former Maharashtra minister & NCP leader Baba Siddique.

On Wednesday, Yadav had claimed that the caller was upset over his social media outbursts against Bishnoi, who is lodged in a Gujarat jail.

Officials said the accused found the MP's number on Google. Police also made it clear that "no links with Lawrence Bishnoi gang" have been established yet.
