MOHALI, Nov 12: Following a formal complaint by Delhi’s Tilak Nagar MLA Jarnail Singh regarding a Rs 7 crore extortion demand, Mohali Police have initiated an investigation to identify and nab the unidentified caller.
The Aam Aadmi Party legislator informed authorities that on November 6, he received both a voice call and a WhatsApp message on his personal mobile number from an unknown sender. Claiming to speak on behalf of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, the individual demanded Rs 7 crore from former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, issuing threats against Kejriwal and his daughter in case of non-payment.
Asserting that the miscreant tried to leverage his public office to relay the intimidation, Singh declared, “The police must inspect the call detail records, IP logs, and exact location of the mobile number to track down the accused and his accomplices.”
Officials confirmed that a case has been registered based on the MLA’s statement, and specialized teams are working to ascertain the identity and whereabouts of the person behind the communication.
