According to Shehla Rashid, Ravi Poojary had warned her, Umar Khalid and Dalit leader Jignesh Mevani to shut up.

Shehla Rashid receives a text message on Monday evening from an unknown number. She shared the screenshot of the text message in which Poojary said, "Just shut your mouth or we will shut your mouth forever. Tell Umar Khalid and Jignesh Mewani also. Mafia don Ravi Poojary".
