Mathura. Rajesh Chaudhary, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Mant seat of Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh, has lodged a complaint of receiving death threats.

Our leader has ordered us to kill you.” Chaudhary said in the complaint that he is also receiving threats through social media platform ‘X’ and some people have announced a reward of Rs 10 lakh to anyone who brings his tongue after cutting it.
