B Praak receives death threat from Lawrence Bishnoi gang member, Rs 10 crores extortion demand: Report
In line with the criticism filed with the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Mohali, the threatening communication was received via calls and a voice message to Dilnoor, an in depth associate and friend of B Praak. The primary contact got here on January 5 in the shape of missed calls from a world number, followed by one other suspicious incoming call on January 6, which was disconnected after Dilnoor found the conversation odd.
Shortly after, a voice message was sent to Dilnoor from the identical overseas number. Within the recording, the caller identified himself as Arju Bishnoi and demanded Rs 10 crores inside one week. “Pass this message to B Praak that we wish 10 crore. You’ve gotten one week. Go to any country you would like, but when anyone related to him is found nearby, we’ll cause damage,” the caller said, adding that if the demand was not met, they might “reduce him to dust.”
The message has since been shared with the police as a part of the official criticism. Police sources said that security for B Praak is being reviewed, and officers are working to trace the origin of the calls and discover the person behind them. The investigation goals to confirm whether the threat was disseminated by an actual member of the Bishnoi gang or someone falsely using the name.
Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang has previously been linked to high-profile extortion and violence cases in India, including threats to other celebrities. The Mohali police’s quick motion comes amid wider concerns about organised crime networks targeting public figures for ransom. Authorities have stated that no further details might be released at this stage to avoid compromising the continuing probe.
B Praak, whose full name is Pratik Bachan, is thought for his work as a singer, music director, composer and producer in each Punjabi and Hindi music industries. He has delivered several hit songs including ‘Mann Bharryaa’ and ‘Ranjha’ from Shershaah, and ‘Saari Duniya Jalaa Denge’ from Animal.
