Debjit Mukherjee: Madhya Pradesh police has arrested a Hyderabad resident, named Sheikh Nazir from the Delhi airport on Thursday, for allegedly threatening BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur last month.
The accused was brought to Bhopal for questioning and he admitted his crime. It is learned that he had studied up to Class 10 and worked as a plumber.
Last month, Nazir called Thakur from an international number and threatened to kill her for allegedly making statements against the Muslim community.
