Ramu threatened; files police complaint and gets security

Trust Ram Gopal Varma to be in the news constantly. His audacious proclamation that he is willing to work with the alleged killer actress Maria Susairaj has raised the hackles of radical political parties in Maharashtra.

 

On Monday, Ramu received a threatening letter allegedly from the Bharatiya Janta Party warning him of dire consequences if he insisted on working with Maria.

Ramu promptly complained to the police. On Tuesday afternoon he lodged a former complaint at the Versova police station. His office and home are now surrounded by a posse of policemen.

 

Sounding anything but intimidated, Ramu said after filing the complaint, "It's something I had to do. If some elements threaten me with dire consequences I've to guard myself, no? I received a threatening letter on Monday. Now don't ask me details of what the police station looked like, if they offered me tea or...for the record the cop in-charge was having tea but he didn't offer me any."

 

Getting more serious Ramu says, "It's easy enough to target me because I'm the only one who actually said I'd sign Maria if I had a role for her. I don't think anyone else made that offer. And my offer remains."

 

Ramu says he is not being defiant or audacious. Simply logical.

 

"See, Maria is not my sister or my girlfriend for me to blindly support her. For all we know she could be innocent or guilty. She may be a serial killer for all I care. That isn't the point. I believe in a civilized society and in democracy, there should be legitimate ways of determining guilt or non-guilt. We should go by what the judiciary says rather than depend on ill-informed emotional knee-jerk reactions."

 

Mincing no words and displaying a fearlessness that could prompt Salman Khan to cast him in Dabangg 2, Ramu says he won't tolerate political 'goondaism'. "In the pretext of getting justice, if people resort to goondaism it is completely unacceptable to me, as it should be to any right-thinking citizen."

 

Ramu says this is why he trotted down to the police station. "As a free citizen of India, I lodged a police complaint against the BJP's threat issued to me."

 

Now Ramu's movements are somewhat restricted by the tight security cordon. "You don't worry about me. You got a sensational story. Be happy," is the irrepressible Ramu's parting shot.
