Letter threatens to kill Anna Hazare for spreading 'unrest'

May 16, 2016

Ahmednagar, May 16: Social activist Anna Hazare's office today received a letter threatening to kill him for stoking "unrest" in society, his aide said.

"The handwritten letter in Marathi was received at Hazare's office in Ralegan Siddhi village in the afternoon," said his spokesperson Shyam Asawa.

When asked about the content of the letter, he said it reads: "Tumhi samajat asantosh pasravat ahat mhanun tumhala udvave lagel (You will be eliminated as you are spreading unrest in society)".

The name of the sender on the letter is 'Ambadas Lashkare' from Nevase, 65 km away from here.

When contacted, Parner police said they have received the information about the receipt of such letter, but refused to elaborate on investigation.

Hazare had previously received anonymous threat letters. Latest of them was in January that threatened to kill him on January 26.

"Police have not traced the senders of these letters so far," Asawa told PTI.

Hazare's personal assistant Shyam Pathade had then said that the Gandhian does not fall prey to such threats.

Hazare has been given 'Z' category security cover.

An Emirates plane was damaged after colliding with a flock of flamingos shortly before touchdown, damaging the plane and leaving several birds dead, the airline said on Wednesday. The flight, however, landed safely in Mumbai late on Monday night, the airlines added.

The Boeing 777 aircraft, flying from Dubai to Mumbai, hit the flock around 300 metres (1,000 ft) from the ground, leaving 39 of the birds dead, sources said.

"Emirates can confirm that EK508 from Dubai to Mumbai on May 20 was involved in a bird strike incident upon landing," an Emirates spokesperson told Reuters.

"The aircraft landed safely and all passengers and crew disembarked without injury, however sadly a number of flamingos were lost and Emirates is cooperating with the authorities on the matter," the spokesperson said.

The Emirates aircraft was damaged in the incident and the return flight, scheduled to depart for Dubai on May 20, was cancelled, the spokesperson said.

Images in local media showed officials carrying bloodied flamingos, which migrate to the city every winter from the neighbouring state of Gujarat.
