A powerful time bomb and an anonymous letter were recovered from the election office of outgoing Narkatiaganj BJP MLA Rashmi Verma near Mukhiyaji Chowk on Saturday morning.
A similar anonymous threat letter was recovered from Verma's residential premises around two weeks ago.
The BJP has denied ticket to the sitting MLA. The earlier letter on September 28 had warned Verma of dire consequences if she dared to file nomination papers even as an Independent candidate. She has lodged an FIR in this regard with the local police station.
When asked, West Champaran superintendent of police Vinay Kumar said: "We are keeping a hawk eye over the developments."
Verma has resolved to contest as an Independent candidate and is now busy campaigning across her Assembly constituency.
