The police said the same number was used to make threat call to BJP leader Aparna Yadav, daughter-in-law of Uttar Pradesh's former Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav.
The Madhya Pradesh police are conducting a probe into a possible "Dubai connection" to a threatening call made by a person to BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur last week, an official said on Monday.
The official also said the same number was used to make a threat call recently to BJP functionary Aparna Yadav, the daughter-in-law of former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav.
Ms Thakur on Saturday complained about getting a call, in which the caller, identifying himself as fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim's brother Iqbal Kaskar's man, threatened to kill her for "spreading venom against Muslims", police earlier said.
Ms Thakur, who represents the Bhopal Lok Sabha constituency, lodged a complaint in this connection at the T T Nagar police station in Bhopal on Saturday, the police said.
