The All India Students Association (AISA) has approached the Uttar Pradesh Director General of Police to register an FIR over alleged death threats issued to its national president Neha Bora, who is touring the state as part of the organisation’s ‘GenZ Rising’ campaign.

In a September 15 complaint obtained by The Hindu, AISA general secretary Prasenjeet Kumar said several messages containing “explicit threats of violence” and abusive and inappropriate language were received on one of the organization’s official contact numbers.

The sender also sent several voice notes containing threatening statements, according to the complaint. In one of the voicemails, the individual reportedly said “uska maut pakka hai” (“her death is certain”), prompting a student body to raise concerns about Ms. Neha’s safety while she is traveling in Uttar Pradesh.

AISA said the reports posed a serious threat to the security of its national president and were allegedly aimed at intimidating a young leader involved in grassroots student mobilisation.

In its complaint to the Uttar Pradesh DGP, the organization demanded immediate registration of an FIR, identification and tracing of the person using the number from which the messages were sent, and preservation and examination of call and message records and voice notes. It also demanded legal action under the relevant provisions of the Act.

The organization also sought measures to ensure Ms. Neha’s safety and security and prevent further threats or acts of violence. The complainant shared screenshots of messages and voice memos.

In a separate statement, AISA condemned the alleged threats and said it would continue its “GenZ Rising” campaign despite the incident. The organization also called for action against those responsible and urged the authorities to ensure the safety of its leaders and activists traveling through Uttar Pradesh.
