BARIPADA: An engineering student
was arrested by the police on Friday in connection with threat calls allegedly
made to Mayurbhanj MP Laxman Tudu. The police on Thursday detained two
engineering students, including the arrested one, and interrogated them in
connection with the case.
The two are drop-outs of a
private college at Jharpokharia in Mayurbhanj district and residents of
Ghatsila in Jharkhand, said Baripada SDPO Sudhakar Jena. The police has started
investigation into the matter after getting complaint from the MP and
Mayurbhanj district president of BJD who alleged that he received a series of
threat calls from Maoists.
Tudu then lodged an FIR at
Chandua police station in the district on Wednesday. In his FIR, he stated that
he had first received a threat call on October 4 where the caller demanded Rs
10 lakh from him. When he didn’t respond to the demands, the callers sent him
an SMS threatening the MP.
According to the police sources,
the callers had no relation with the Maoists. They are investigating into the
matter after registering a case under section 506 and 384, the police sources
said.
