Police have registered a case in connection with an alleged death threat received by Samajwadi Party Rajya Sabha MP Ramji Lal Suman through a WhatsApp call and message, officials said on Wednesday.
Police Investigation Launched
According to police, a case has been registered against an unidentified person at Hariparvat police station under relevant sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and an investigation has been initiated.
Suman said he received the alleged death threat through a WhatsApp call on March 5, 2026, following which threatening and abusive messages were also sent from a mobile number via WhatsApp.
MP Alleges Previous Threats and Delayed Response
The MP alleged that he had earlier received threats several times through social media platforms and had lodged a complaint with the Uttar Pradesh Director General of Police on March 8.
He claimed that police registered the FIR only after nearly two-and-a-half months, which, according to him, reflected a lack of seriousness on the part of the authorities.
Suman also alleged that police action had remained lax in connection with an attack on his residence in 2025.
Investigation Underway
Police sources said details of the number from which the threatening messages were sent were being examined and further action would be taken based on the findings.
