Nationalist Congress Party president Sharad Pawar has received a "death threat" on social media, NCP claimed on Friday. Taking cognisance of the matter, Mumbai police are in the process of registering a first information report, a senior police official said.
A delegation of NCP workers led by Mr Pawar's daughter and Lok Sabha member Supriya Sule met Mumbai police chief Vivek Phansalkar demanding action.
The NCP leaders told the police that 82-year-old Mr Pawar received a message on Facebook that read "he will meet the same fate as (Narendra) Dabholkar soon".
Narendra Dabholkar, who fought against superstitious beliefs, was shot dead by two bike-borne assailants during his morning walk in Pune on August 20, 2013.
