Police registered a first information report (FIR) on Thursday evening against Gunjal under various sections of IPC for intimidating and threatening the officer over phone.
The BJP MLA from Kota (North) allegedly threatened Kota district CMHO Dr RN Yadav with dire consequences for not issuing transfer orders to the kin of a party worker.
However, when contacted, Gunjal denied that he had used threats with Yadav although he did admit that he had called the CMHO in connection with the transfer.
"I did call the CMHO and ask him for the transfer of a male nurse, who is the brother-in-law of a party worker. But I did not threaten or intimidate him. But, yes, I scolded him as I was very angry,"said Gunjal.
Taking serious note of the alleged threats used by MLA Prahlad Gunjal, Rajasthan Home Minister Gulab Chandra Kataria stated that his department will take action as per law against the errant legislator.
He added that he had asked for the transfer on four occasions but the CMHO had not complied.
