One person has been arrested for threatening BJP MP from Khargone, Makan Singh, here while demanding Rs 50 lakh from him.

Superintendent of Police R S Meena told UNI today that Singh received a call on his mobile phone from a person on Saturday while returning to Barwani from Alirajpur district who threatened to kill him if Rs 50 lakh was not given to him.

He said the accused told the MP that he had been provided a 'supari' (Contract) of Rs 35 lakh to kill him but Singh could be spared if he gave him Rs 50 lakh.

Mr Meena said the MP lodged a complaint with the police after reaching Barwani. The mobile phone recovered from the accused was registered in the name of one Daulatram. The phone was being used by Daultram's son Rakesh.

''On the basis of the phone records, the accused Vikas had been arrested and further interrogations with him was underway'', Mr Meena added.
