Shilpa
Shetty's
publicist
Dale
Bhagwagar
revealed
to
the
media
on
Wednesday
that
he
had
received
a
threat
call
on
July
17
from
an
unknown
person
calling
from
a
'Private
Number'
asking
him
to
refrain
from
discussing
Bihar
journalist
Subhash
K.
Jha
in
the
media
or
face
dire
consequences.
Dale
said
he
had
also
been
tipped
off
by
a
former
crime
reporter
that
his
life
was
in
danger.
Two
months
ago,
the
publicist
had
issued
an
open
letter
to
Jha,
accusing
the
journalist
of
harassing
Shilpa
Shetty
and
asking
for
sexual
favours.
Dale
said
he
was
in
his
hometown
Nagpur
and
would
file
a
complaint
at
Sadar
police
station,
Nagpur,
as
a
precautionary
measure.
He
added
that
he
would
file
another
complaint
on
returning
to
Mumbai.
"Shilpa
shetty,
after
her
'open
letter'
to
Subhash
K.
Jha
this
week,
acknowledged
my
earlier
letter
on
national
television,
following
which
I
got
requests
to
speak
up
about
the
issue.
Little
did
I
realize
that
my
life
could
be
in
danger," Dale
rued.
