Haryana Congress leader and legislator Kuldeep Bishnoi on Tuesday said he received a death threat on his mobile phone from an unidentified person, following which an FIR was lodged.

Police said an FIR has been lodged and investigation is on.
Mr Bishnoi, the younger son of former Haryana Chief Minister late Bhajan Lal, is currently in Delhi.
Police said a case has been registered against unknown person at Adampur Police Station in Hisar district under the Information Technology Act and section 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code.
