Jarnail Singh Reports ₹7 Crore Extortion Threat
Delhi AAP MLA Jarnail Singh has approached the police after allegedly receiving a threatening phone call and WhatsApp message concerning former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal and his daughter, Harshita Kejriwal.
According to the complaint, an unidentified person demanded ₹7 crore and threatened to kill Kejriwal and his daughter if the money was not paid.
Singh, who represents the Tilak Nagar Assembly constituency in Delhi, reported receiving the threatening communication on November 6, 2026. He subsequently approached the Mohali Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) with a complaint.
Caller Allegedly Claimed Links to Lawrence Bishnoi Gang
According to Singh's complaint, the caller claimed to be associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
The caller allegedly instructed the MLA to convey the ₹7 crore extortion demand to Kejriwal. The threatening WhatsApp message reportedly warned that Kejriwal and his daughter would be killed if the demand was not fulfilled.
However, the identity of the person behind the communication and the authenticity of the claimed gang connection have not yet been established by investigators.
Punjab Police Register Case in Mohali
Following the complaint, Mohali Police registered a case under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Information Technology Act.
The reported sections include:
Section 308(4) of the BNS: Relates to extortion involving threats of serious harm.
Section 351(2) of the BNS: Deals with criminal intimidation.
Relevant provisions of the Information Technology Act: Invoked in connection with the electronic communication.
The investigation has been assigned to the Cyber Crime Police Station. Police are examining available evidence to identify the sender and establish the origin of the threatening communications.
Police Examine Call Records and Digital Evidence
Investigators are reportedly examining call details, internet protocol (IP) logs and location information linked to the mobile number used to send the threats.
These digital records could help establish the identity and whereabouts of the person responsible for the messages.
Jarnail Singh has also sought adequate security arrangements for Kejriwal and his family in view of the alleged threat.
Arvind Kejriwal and Daughter Named in Threat
The complaint specifically names Arvind Kejriwal and his daughter, Harshita Kejriwal, as the targets of the alleged threat.
The incident has raised security concerns because the communication reportedly combined a substantial financial demand with threats against family members.
Police have not yet publicly established who sent the messages or whether the individual has any actual connection with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
Investigation Underway
The case remains under investigation, with police examining the available digital evidence and attempting to trace the unidentified caller.
Further developments are expected as investigators verify the source of the communication and determine the circumstances surrounding the alleged extortion attempt.
For now, the claim of a Lawrence Bishnoi gang connection remains an allegation made by the unidentified sender and has not been independently confirmed by the police.
Conclusion
The alleged ₹7 crore extortion threat against Arvind Kejriwal and his daughter has prompted Punjab Police to register a case following a complaint by Delhi AAP MLA Jarnail Singh.
Investigators are examining phone records, digital messages and other technical evidence to identify the person responsible. The police investigation will be crucial in establishing the authenticity of the threat and whether the sender has any connection to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
