Suspended BJP MLA T. Raja Singh has alleged that a terrorist outfit planned to target him during the Ram Navami procession on Thursday.
He uploaded on social media a letter from a resident of the old city of Hyderabad to the commissioner of police claiming that a terrorist planned to hurl bombs at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy, state BJP office and Ram Navami procession on March 31.
The letter, written by Uma Maheswari, clamied that the main target of the terrorist working for Bahrain-based Mukhtar Brigades is Raja Singh, a member of Telangana Legislative Assembly from Goshamahal constituency.
Raja Singh, who is scheduled to lead the procession, has asked state home minister Mahmood Ali, the Director General of Police, and the Police Commissioner if they verified the claims made in the letter. “Update us abt this as Lakhs of Ram Bhakts joins this procession,” tweeted Raja Singh.
Last month, the controversial MLA filed a police complaint alleging that he was receiving threatening calls from Pakistan-based phone numbers.
“I have been receiving threatening calls every day. I have given written complaints many times to the police department when the callers are aggressive and abusive but no action has been taken. Not even one person has been arrested who threatened me as of now,” he had said.

With Raja Singh still under suspension, are other local leaders eyeing his seat?
Police had assigned him a new bullet-resistant vehicle in response to the MLA’s claims.
The MLA was arrested by police in August of last year for making certain comments hurting religious sentiments of Muslims. He was sent to jail on August 25 after the Hyderabad police commissioner had invoked PD Act. BJP had also suspended him from the party.
Raja Singh was released from jail on November 9 after being detained for two months under the Preventive Detention Act.
The Telangana High Court had set aside the police commissioner’s order and released the MLA on bail but ordered him not to make any speech or comment which created hatred among communities.
