NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal received a threat letter at his Nashik office on Friday. After the incident, his supporters are demanding additional security for the politician.
The letter mentioned that his murder contract has been given to five people for Rs 50 lakh.
The threat comes days after the Election Commission on Tuesday allotted the NCP name and symbol to the faction led by Ajit Pawar, a decision that came as a major blow to the faction led by party founder Sharad Pawar.
Notably, Bhujbal attracted criticism after he opposed the reservation of Marathas from the OBC category. The NCP leader last month also opposed his own government’s decision to facilitate the grant of Kunbi certificates to Marathas.
Notably, Bhujbal is a prominent leader of the OBC community.
In December last year, Bhujbal made a sensational claim in the Maharashtra Assembly stating that as per a police input, he may be ‘shot dead’ and revealed he has been receiving abuses and threats following his agitation over Maratha reservation.
