Chandigarh, November 12 (Daily Kiran) : A significant development has emerged from the police investigation into the threatening call received by Arvind Kejriwal, the former Chief Minister of Delhi and national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party. Authorities have determined that the call was fraudulent.
The threat was directed at Jarnail Singh, a legislator from Tilak Nagar, who reported the incident to the Mohali SSP on November 6. In his complaint, Singh stated that the caller claimed to be a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, demanding ₹7 crores from Kejriwal. The caller also threatened to kill both Kejriwal and his daughter, Harshita, if the money was not paid.
Following this complaint, the Mohali police registered a case under various sections of the BNS and IT Act. The investigation was assigned to Inspector Sunil Kumar from the Cyber Crime Unit. Authorities examined the caller’s mobile number, call details, IP logs, and location data.
