After his discharge from the hospital on Wednesday, Jani claimed that Bangladeshi individuals are instigating local residents and inciting them to murder him, similar to the killing of Kanhaiyalal.
Chest Pain Complaint
Jani had travelled to Ahmedabad and then Udaipur in connection with the film’s release. He was admitted to a private hospital after complaining of chest pain. A man named Mohammad Shahid made threatening comments. Following a complaint, the police took Shahid into custody for questioning.
Amit Jani’s Allegations
Jani alleges that he received a message stating, “We are 700 metres away and will send tiffin,” which he interpreted as a “tiffin bomb” threat. Furthermore, a Bangladeshi youth, Hamad, commented on social media, “The tiffin is expensive, send a knife.” Jani alleges that Kanhaiyalal’s murder in Udaipur was carried out by Pakistan-backed extremists and that similar threats are being made again. Police have begun questioning Shahid. Superintendent of Police Yogesh Goyal stated that an investigation is underway to determine whether these are merely online comments or part of a larger network. Following allegations of Pakistani and Bangladeshi links, the police are taking the matter seriously. The threats have further heightened tensions in the city.
