As per the complaint filed with the Mohali police, the initial contact was made on January 5, when a call was placed to Punjabi singer Dilnoor, who is associated with B Praak. However, Dilnoor was unable to answer the call at that time.
The following day, Dilnoor received another call from a foreign number. Finding it suspicious after briefly answering, he immediately disconnected. Shortly thereafter, he received a voice message from the same number.
In the audio message, the caller allegedly identified himself as Arju Bishnoi and demanded ₹10 crore from B Praak.
“Pass this message to B Praak that we want ₹10 crore. You have one week’s time. Go to any country you want, but if anyone associated with him is found nearby, we will cause damage,” the message stated.
The caller further escalated the threat, warning that if the demand was not fulfilled, they would “reduce him to dust,” referring to B Praak.
The audio message has since been shared with the police as part of the complaint.
Following the incident, Dilnoor submitted a written complaint to the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Mohali. Police officials said they have taken cognisance of the matter and are conducting further investigations to trace the source of the calls and verify the identity of the caller.
