MiD DAY has a copy of the letter, which states that Khan is accused of stashing money abroad and Shinde is fully aware of his financial transactions. The letter asks Shinde to reveal the names of some prominent politicians allegedly connected to Khan. The letter writer has warned Shinde of serious consequences if he fails to do so.
Shinde's lawyer Rahul Dindokar said, "We met Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Anant Rokde in this connection and have sought police protection. "The postcard carried a couple of telephone numbers, one of them belonging to an official of the Central Bureau of Investigation. "We will investigate the matter and will give paid police protection to Shinde," Rokde said. "We will investigate the source of the letter."
