Mohammad Shamim has complained to police that Deepak Singh had threatened him when he used to drive a car of Singh's brother. In another complaint, Banke Bihar Singh claimed that Deepak Singh forcibly picked him up in his car in Rajgarh and threatened to kill him, the Samajwadi Party MLA alleged, according to PTI.

"A conspiracy is being hatched to kill me. I have informed senior police officers about it," Rakesh Singh also said.

He claimed that since FIRs have not been registered in these matters, they were forced to sit on dharna at the police station on Tuesday night.

On the other hand, Deepak Singh claimed that SP workers pelted stones at him "with the intention of killing him", forcing him to take refuge in the police station where Rakesh Singh and his supporters assaulted him.
