Mangaluru, Feb 29: Rakesh Malli, entrepreneur and once a close aide of Jaya Karnataka organization founder Muthappa Rai, has submitted a complaint to the superintendent of police of Dakshina Kannada that he has received threat on his life by Muthappa Rai and his children.

In a two-page complaint filed by Rakesh Malli, he says, "Many years ago, 17.5 acres of land was bought in Bantwal, in the name of me and Muthappa Rai in a partnership deal. The said land was sold to Karunakara Rai, brother of Muthappa Rai later. Though the land is sold, I have not got my share of the money. Now, when I am asking for the same, I am threatened with murder.

"In addition, Muthappa Rai, his children and brother have given a contract for Rs 20 lac to a person of Uttar Pradesh origin to kill me. As there is threat to me, I request you to provide suitable security to me and my family and also do justice by conducting investigation in this matter,” he stated in the complaint.
