The police are investigating a death threat against former Delhi chief minister and Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal, allegedly issued in the name of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, with the caller demanding Rs 7 crore.
The police in Mohali have filed a case under both the BNS and the IT Act, and have given the case to an officer of the cyber crime unit identified as Sunil Kumar. In a complaint filed with the police in Punjab’s Mohali on November 6, Singh said the caller demanded Rs 7 crore and threatened to kill Kejriwal and his daughter, Harshita Kejriwal, if the money was not paid.
Singh has also sought adequate security for Kejriwal and his family. His party is in power in Punjab, led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, and the assembly election is also due in just a few months from now.
Investigators said they are examining call records, internet protocol logs and location data linked to the mobile number used to issue the threat.
