A former Research and Analysis Wing official R.K. Yadav on Saturday, December 8 threatened historian and author Ramachandra Guha on Twitter after he posted a picture where he claims to be eating “beef in celebration” in Goa.
Yadav called Guha a “stigma” on Hindu religion for posting the picture.
If a Hindu eating beef & publicise it he is stigma on this religion. One Ramchandra Guha is doing so. He is trying to tease whole of Hindus by this dastardly action of such publicity. Shd be given befitting reply.

Guha retweeted the comment to “place it on record” on Sunday, December 9.

Earlier today, Guha said that a person from Delhi threatened him and his wife. He also posted the number of the person. It is not clear whether he has informed the police or not.
I have received threatening calls from a man calling himself Sanjay from Delhi. His number is +91-98351-38678. He threatened my wife as well as me. This is for the record.

After a magical morning in Old Goa we had lunch in Panaji, where—since this is a BJP ruled state—I decided to eat beef in celebration: pic.twitter.com/5UezGXengG
