MUMBAI: Comedian Raju Srivastav received threatening calls from Pakistan warning him not to crack jokes on underworld don Dawood Ibrahim and Pakistan during his shows, police said.
"The person warned Raju over phone that he would loose his life if he continues to crack jokes against Dawood Ibrahim and Pakistan," Rajesh Sharma, business manager of Srivastav said.
"Initially we thought they were just prank calls, but since last 25 days about 10 threatening calls have been received. Crime Branch officials seem to have tapped the calls and they themselves approached us and provided security to Srivastav," Sharma said.
However, no complaint has been registered so far, but an additional security has been provided to the comedian who resides at Oshiwara in suburban Andheri.
Meanwhile, the Crime Branch officials were unavailable for comment.
