AAP MLA Jarnail Singh files complaint in Mohali, alleging threats against the former Delhi CM and his daughter; cybercrime police begin investigation.
Former Delhi chief minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal has allegedly received a death threat from a person claiming to be associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, along with an extortion demand of ₹7 crore, according to a police complaint.
The threat reportedly extended to Kejriwal’s daughter, Harshita, with the caller allegedly warning of fatal consequences if the money was not paid.
AAP MLA Jarnail Singh, who represents Delhi’s Tilak Nagar constituency, received threatening phone calls and WhatsApp messages. He lodged a complaint with the Senior Superintendent of Police in Mohali, Punjab, on November 6, seeking security for Kejriwal and his family.
Police have registered a case and handed the investigation to the Mohali Cyber Crime Police Station. Investigators are examining call records, internet protocol (IP) logs and location details to identify the sender.
The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has previously been linked to threats and attacks targeting prominent personalities, including Bollywood actors, singers and politicians.
The gang also came under scrutiny after assailants allegedly opened fire at actor Tiger Shroff’s car in Mumbai last month. Two suspected gang operatives reportedly claimed responsibility for the incident through social media posts.
Authorities are investigating the latest threat to establish the identity of those involved and verify the alleged gang connection.
