Not even a month after the killing of Gauri Lankesh, a Delhi-based journalist has received death threats warning him not to write against the RSS, the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Chief reporter of Firstpost, Debobrat Ghose, who mainly covers politics, has made a formal complaint to the Delhi police.

He was first sent messages on WhatsApp and then received calls telling him he will face the same fate as Gauri Lankesh.

Speaking to HuffPost India over the phone, Ghose said, "I got the first message on the morning of September 21. I saw it an hour after I had received it. I thought it must be a forwarded message because it did not mention my name, so I ignored it."

He got another message, around afternoon, the same day.
