The man, who lodged an FIR in connection with the life threat issued from a social media account against Uttar Pradesh chief minister, was allegedly the culprit himself.
The accused, identified as Devendra Tiwari, did it to get a security cover for himself, said police on Thursday. According to the police, Tiwari, who runs an NGO, is on the run.
