Entrepreneur and Congress supporter Tehseen Poonawalla today lodged a case against an unidentified person who allegedly threatened him and his family over phone.
"On November 18, my personal assistant in New Delhi received a call on my cell phone. The caller informed that he wanted to help me against the Prime Minister. My assistant asked him to call my Pune office," he said in the complaint.
Then another call came from a different number and this time he received it.

"The caller repeated his offer to help me against the atrocities of Prime Minister. When I told him not to bother me, the caller suddenly changed his tone and started threatening me saying he knows that my wife and mother live alone in Pune and he knows about my and my brother's whereabouts," he said.
The caller threatened him of dire consequences and promised to teach a lesson to his entire family while claiming that he was calling from Dubai, Poonawalla said.
"In the past attempts of attack on me were foiled by police and I request police to forward the same (complaint) to the Ministry of Home Affairs and Intelligence Bureau," he stated in the complaint, addressed to the commissioner of police.
Joint Commissioner of Police Sunil Ramanand said police were in the process of registering the complaint.
