By Our Staff Reporter

BANGALORE, APRIL 5. The former Prime Minister, Mr. H.D. Deve Gowda, and his son, Mr. H.D. Revanna, former Minister, have received an anonymous letter which says that they will be injected with the AIDS virus, according to the City police.

Banashankari police have registered a case based on the letter which was passed on to them by Mr. Revanna through the Special Protection Group (SPG).

Police said the case has been transferred to the Holenarsipura Rural Police Station in Hassan District, the home district of Mr. Gowda, for investigation.

Police said the letter threatened that Mr. Gowda and Mr. Revanna would be killed by an AIDS virus injection for sending ``our people'' to jail. The letter warned that the two would be punished for their ``misdeeds'' while in power and for the suffering caused to innocent people who were in jail because of their ``misdeeds''.
