The police has registered a case against BJP leader Printu Mahadevan for his alleged remark during a television debate that bullets would be fired at the Opposition Leader in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, officials said.
The case was filed by the Peramangalam police based on a complaint from Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) secretary Sreekumar C C.
Mahadevan, a former ABVP leader, made the remarks while discussing protests in Bangladesh and Nepal, during a debate on a Malayalam news channel on September 26.
He reportedly said that such protests were not possible in India as people here stood strongly with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and added that if Rahul Gandhi has any such desires, “bullets will pierce his chest.”
The FIR cites provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Section 192 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot), Section 353 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace), and Section 351(2) (criminal intimidation).
REacting to the threat Congrtess General Secretary, K C Venugopal tweeted on X , Disagreements in the political arena must be solved politically, within the Constitutional framework. BJP leaders, however, are giving death threats to their political opponents on live TV.

Surely, @RahulGandhi ji’s vehement fight against the RSS-BJP ideology has rattled them.… pic.twitter.com/u3thQiA6Iv
