This comes a day later Raut wrote a letter to Deputy Cheif Minister Devendra Fadnavis claiming that a gangster named Raja Thakur has been given a contract to kill the the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader.
“I have received information that a notorious goon Raja Thakur of Thane has been given a contract by Shrikant Shinde to kill me,” said Sanjay Raut in a letter addressed to Deputy CM, Mumbai CP and Thane CP.
“After the change of government in Maharashtra, my security was withdrawn. I do not have any complaint about it. Such political decisions keep happening. Looking at the current situation in Maharashtra, this issue needs to be brought to your attention,” added Raut in the letter.
