Police say it took place in January when a man asked the Saskatchewan Party MLA to support him in a local political election process.

Police say Grewal refused to offer his support, resulting in the man allegedly threatening to harm the MLA personally and professionally.

The accused has made an appearance in Regina Provincial Court.
