Social activist Anna Hazare’s office on Sunday received a letter, sent by one ‘Ambadas Lashkare’ from Nevase, 65km from Ahmednagar, threatening to kill him for stoking “unrest” in society, his aide said.
The handwritten letter in Marathi was received at Hazare’s office in Ralegan Siddhi village in the afternoon.
<b>Shyam Asawa, Spokesperson</b>
The content of the letter reads:
<i>Tumhi samajat asantosh pasravat ahat mhanun tumhala udvave lagel.</i> (You will be eliminated as you are spreading unrest in society).
Hazare has previously received anonymous threat letters, the latest sent in January, threatening to kill him on 26 January. Hazare’s personal assistant Shyam Pathade had then said that the Gandhian does not fall prey to such threats.
Hazare has been given ‘Z’ category security cover.
