Mysuru: Only a day after underground fugitive Ravi Poojary threatened a jeweller in Shivamogga for Rs 25 Crore ransom, he has tried to coerce MLA Sa Ra Mahesh against contesting in the upcoming elections.
On November 24, while Sa Ra Mahesh was at his residence, he received a call from Ravi Poojary, who is abroad and was threatened to not contest in the elections.
During their conversation, Poojary said, “I am Ravi Poojary. You should not contest from K R Nagara Vidhanasabha assembly constituency. If you contest in the elections, I will murder your family members.”
After this incident, the MLA himself met the Mysore police commissioner and filed a police complaint.
