Mysuru: Prof. K S Bhagawan has reportedly received as many as 20 threat calls on his mobile in just 2 hours on Sunday September 20 evening.
Bhagawan later filed a complaint with this regard. The complaint stated that he received calls from several numbers between 6.30 pm to 8.30 pm. The callers spoke to the writer using foul language and also threatened to kill him.
He then stated that he switched off his phone at about 8.30 as he was unable to bear the calls.
Police sources say that they were trying to trace the call. The writer also received a threat letter which was sent to his residence on September 9. The security arrangements were tightened post Kalburgi’s murder in Dharwad. Bhagawan was provided police protection earlier too after warnings from organisations.
