Goa Health Minister Vishwajit Rane, who featured in a controversial audio clip where he says that files linked to the Rafale deal are in Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar's bedroom, has been threatened with harm by top BJP leaders, AICC General Secretary A. Chella Kumar said on Tuesday.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a Congress event in Panaji, Kumar also said that a day before Rane quit the Congress to join the Bharatiya Janata Party in 2017, the lawmaker had met him and informed him about the threats to him and his family.
