The abuses and threats were allegedly hurled by Govinda at Praveen Khanna during a meeting of the Indian Motion Pictures' Producers Association, an official of Khar police station said.

"We have received a written complaint from Praveen Khanna that Govinda had abused and threatened to kill him after a heated exchange on Aug 24. It has been registered as a non-cognizable offence pending further inquiry, " the officer on duty at Khar police station told.

Terming it as a personal issue between Govinda and Khanna, the official said that the actor has not yet been questioned in the matter.
