Princedeep Lalchand Khatik, son of BJP legislator Uma Devi, threatened to kill Congress MP Jyotiraditya Scindia in a social media post on Monday. Khatik in a Facebook post, wrote 'I will shoot you.'

He shared a Facebook post in which he wrote, "Jyotiraditya Scindia, you have Jiwajirao's blood running in your veins, who killed Jhansi ki Rani. If you step in Hatta then I will shoot you. Either you will die or I will."

His statement comes ahead of Mr Scindia's scheduled visit to Hatta district to hold a rally on September 5. Uma Devi, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Madhya Pradesh's Hatta Vidhan Sabha constituency told IANS, "This post is unfortunate. Scindia is a respectable MP. I will ask my son to remove the post."

However, the Former Congress Minister Raja Pateriya said that the BJP is scared of Mr Scindia's immense popularity. He said that the police should conduct an immediate inquiry into the matter and step up security to Mr Scindia.
