Medak MP Raghunandan Rao receives second threat call from suspected Maoists

Medak MP M Raghunandan Rao received a second threat call from suspected Maoists, warning of a plan to assassinate him. The calls, reportedly made using internet services, come days after a similar threat was reported on June 23.

Sangareddy: Medak MP M Raghunandan Rao received another threat call from suspected Maoists on Sunday, even as he was undergoing treatment at a private hospital following leg surgery. The MP reportedly received calls from two different phone numbers.

The caller, suspected to be a Maoist operative, warned that five teams had been deployed to trace and assassinate Raghunandan. The teams, he claimed, were acting on the instructions of the Andhra Pradesh committee leadership. The caller also stated that police could trace the numbers since internet-based calling services were being used.
