Emotionally disturbed Dr Akela said, "I received a call on the night of September 1. It was a WhatsApp call generated from the United States. Police from the Cyber Cell also confirmed that the call was made from New Jersey, United States. I was not knowing, who was the caller. But when I called back and had a conversation with him for more than five minutes. Then the caller told me that he is planning to send me to Kanhaiyalal and Dr Umesh Kumar. When I asked him what was the reason then he said "Gushtakhe Rasul Ki Ek Hi Saja, Sar Tan Se Juda, Sar Tan Se Juda" (head will be detached from the body). Then the caller said that he has done all the recce and even PM Modi or CM Yogi will not be able to protect me. I will be punished for supporting the Hindu organizations."
