An unidentified man made a threatening call on the landline number of Union Minister Nitin Gadkari's official residence on Motilal Nehru road here, police said on May 16.
The call was received by a staff of Gadkari's office Monday night. The caller did not share his details and demanded to speak to the Minister and threaten him, a senior police officer said.
"The caller spoke in Hindi and said 'mujhe mantri ji se baat karni hai, unhe threaten karna hai' (I want to talk to the minister and want to threaten him), and disconnected the call," he said.
