Lucknow. BJP MLA from Uttar Pradesh Yogesh Dhama has written to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the Director General of Police of the state claiming that his (Dhama) life is threatened by the infamous gangster Sunil Rathi in Delhi’s Tihar Jail. Rathi is in jail in connection with the murder of another gangster Munna Bajrangi. Dhama said the gangster openly threatened him when he came to hear the Munna Bajrangi case in Baghpat’s court.
He said, “He holds me responsible for stopping illegal mining activities in the region. Two of my acquaintances were killed last month by his men, which proves that my life is in real danger.”
The MLA claimed that B is more dangerous than the gangster Vikas Dubey who was killed in the Rathi encounter, who was the main accused in the killing of eight policemen earlier this month in Kanpur.
Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) of Baghpat, Anit Kumar said, “Dhama has not contacted us and we are providing them security as per protocol.”
The ASP said the quarrel began when the local MLA complained against Rathi’s illegal mining business. He said, “He was doing this through his man Manish Chauhan, who had a license for sand mining, but was removing more than the allowed limit. When the MLA raised the issue, the district administration revoked his license And fined him 4 crores. ”
Rathi’s goons shot and killed Rashtriya Lok Dal leader Deshpal Khokhar on July 7, who is said to have objected to the passing of trucks carrying sand from his village.
“We have arrested two Rathi sharpshooters in connection with the case after the encounter on Sunday,” the ASP said.
Rathi’s Gurgo also allegedly killed historyheater Paramveer Tugana, who is said to be close to Yogesh Dhama.
