Gorakhpur: A man has been arrested today in Ludhiana for allegedly abusing and threatening to kill BJP MP and popular actor Ravi Kishan. The arrest follows a complaint filed by the MP after he reportedly received abusive and threatening calls, prompting swift police action. Authorities are investigating the motive behind the threats.
The accused, Ajay Kumar Yadav, a resident of Bagga Kalan, Ludhiana, Punjab, has been sent to jail by the police.
Ravi Kishan filed a police complaint on November 1 during the Bihar poll campaign, alleging he received death threats and abusive calls targeting his family and religious beliefs. An FIR was registered at the Ramgarh Taal Police Station in Gorakhpur. In a post on X dated October 31, he detailed the nature of the threats.
“I recently received abusive calls in which not only I but also my mother was insulted. I was threatened with death, and derogatory remarks were made against Lord Shri Ram. This is not just an attack on my personal dignity but also on our faith and Indian culture. Such acts are attempts to incite hatred and unrest, and they will be countered with democratic and ideological strength,” he wrote.
Kishan reaffirmed his commitment to public service by stating, “For me, walking the path of nationalism and righteousness is not a political strategy – it is a lifelong vow. I will continue this journey, no matter how difficult it becomes. This struggle is about defending self-respect, faith, and duty, and I will stand firm till the end.”
On Saturday, Ravi Kishan stated that threats won’t stop him from campaigning in Bihar.
“Jekar Nath Bholenath, U Anath Kaise Hoyi,” (One who has Lord Shiva as his protector can never be abandoned), he said.
Speaking to IANS, Ravi Kishan added, “Our opponents are frustrated by their impending defeat. They have abused me and my mother, but I want to tell them that I am coming to Bihar and will not stop campaigning. They can threaten me, but they cannot break my resolve.”
