MUMBAI: An unknown person who claimed to be fugitive Canadian gangster Goldy Brar made two calls to Congress MLA Aslam Shaikh on Thursday, threatening to eliminate him in the next two days.

Kapoor further said that the caller identified himself as Goldy Brar and inquired about MLA Shaikh. “After I identified myself, the caller threatened saying, ‘ Mein Goldy Brar bol raha hoon. Mein Aslam Shaikh ko do din me goli maarkar udaane wala hoon. Yeh Aslam Shaikh ko batha dena (This is Goldy Brar. I will kill Aslam Shaikh in two days. Inform him) and disconnected the calls,” said Kapoor.
