On Thursday, a Lalit Narayan Mithila University professor from Bihar registered a police complaint after he and his family were threatened with death threats.
The complainant has been recognised as professor Prem Mohan Mishra, who said he received a ‘Sar Tan Se Juda’ threat letter from one Parvez Alam. “Jihadis will take severe your head at any time. This is what Allah has ordered,” the letter read.
Professor Mishra works in the Chemistry department of the Lalit Narayan Mithila University of Darbhanga. The incident took place on November 23. The letter also said that the family members of the professor would also be killed. “Sar Tan Se Juda, Sar Tan Se Juda,” the letter highlighted.
The letter has also asked for the removal of Shashi Shekhar Jha, an employee of the same department where the professor works. The letter has accused Jha of allegedly verbally abusing a Muslim woman.
The letter read, “Transfer Shashi Shekhar Jha to another college in Begusarai which is at least 20 kilometres away from the University. He keeps on abusing them. You must be knowing that when Nirmal Chowdhary was the Head of the Chemistry Department, he had forcibly taken away our book and accused us of stealing during the dental college examination.”
After the exam, we said that we knew nothing about the book. The book had been stolen from the library and was sold for Rs 17,000. We bought it. We have become doctors today by giving exams, but we will not forgive Shashi Shekhar Jha. Prem Mohan Mishra will suffer the consequences of this sin,” the letter added.
Professor Prem Mohan Mishra stated that the incident in the letter is accurate and that it is a 20-25-year-old matter. “I was not even in the University at that time,” he added. Professor Mishra has requested police protection for himself and his family. Investigations in the case are underway.
