A shocking development has emerged in Bihar as a Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) from the Janata Dal United (JDU) has allegedly received death threats in the name of notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. The incident has sparked political turmoil, with leader Pappu Yadav making strong claims regarding the security situation in the state.
Threatening Call Raises Alarm
According to sources, the JDU MLC received a threatening phone call demanding a hefty extortion amount. The caller allegedly invoked the name of Lawrence Bishnoi, a gangster known for his involvement in high-profile crimes across the country. The threat has sent shockwaves through Bihar’s political corridors, raising concerns about the growing influence of criminal networks.
Pappu Yadav’s Bold Allegations
Reacting to the incident, prominent political figure Pappu Yadav strongly criticized the state’s law and order situation. He accused the Bihar government of failing to curb organized crime and claimed that political leaders are increasingly becoming targets of such threats. “If elected representatives are not safe, imagine the plight of common citizens,” Yadav stated in a press briefing.
He further suggested that there could be a larger conspiracy behind the threats and urged the government to conduct a high-level investigation. “The involvement of such criminal networks in Bihar is a dangerous sign. The government must take immediate action,” Yadav added.
Government’s Response
The Bihar police have launched an investigation into the incident. Authorities have assured that all necessary steps will be taken to trace the origin of the call and ensure the MLC’s safety.

As investigations continue, all eyes are on the Bihar government’s next move. Will they be able to crack down on these criminal elements and ensure safety for their political leaders and citizens? The coming days will be crucial in determining the state’s response to such threats.
