Ramjanally, who leads an Islamic community group, said that two men visited his home, kidnapped him at knifepoint, put him in the boot of a car and drove him to Epping Forest in Essex. He was then warned not to continue his work with the Islamic group. He has also claimed that on 2 July, he received an anonymous letter which said that: 'We don't want you to carry on at this. We know which school your kid goes to and which car you drive.' The next day, an alleged arson attack took place against his home.

The BNP are active in Ramjanally's town, having four councillors in the area.
