NEW DELHI: Delhi Police’s Intelligence Fusion & Strategic Operations (IFSO) unit arrested two men who posed as members of the Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar gang for allegedly making extortion calls to a businessman in Ludhiana. The police said the accused also threatened the victims citing Punjabi singer-turned-politician Sidhu Moose Wala’s death.
The two accused were identified as Shakti Singh (29) and Afzal Khan (24), both natives of Bilaspur in Chattisgarh.
Deputy commissioner of police (IFSO) KPS Malhotra said, on June 12, Ludhiana’s cyber police station contacted the IFSO unit and sought help in tracing the accused. “The case was registered on the complaint of a Ludhiana-based businessman who alleged that he was receiving threat calls from some unknown international and Indian phone numbers,” the officer said.
The callers were threatening him to pay a ransom money of Rs 10 lakh. “They further threatened him that in case of failure of paying ransom money, his fate would be like Moose Wala’s. The accused provided a bank account number too,” the DCP said.
Punjab Police had informed Delhi Police that the location of one of the accused’s phone numbers was in Delhi. A team under the supervision of ACP Raman Lamba was constituted and during the inquiry, the user of the alleged mobile phone number was traced in Gurgaon Sector 22. He was nabbed along with another person.
