A case has emerged where former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal and his family were threatened and targeted, demanding crores of rupees as extortion. This threat was issued in the name of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

Mohali Police has registered an FIR at the cyber crime police station based on a complaint filed by Jarnail Singh, MLA from Delhi's Tilak Nagar assembly constituency.

According to Jarnail Singh, on the evening of November 6, he received a WhatsApp call on his phone from a new number. The caller claimed association with the Lawrence gang and asked to convey this message to Kejriwal. He warned that if the amount of Rs 7 crore is not delivered, Kejriwal and his daughter Harshita will be killed.

According to the MLA, following the phone call, a written message was also sent from the same number, with the letter 'H' visible on its profile. The message also mentioned killing them in exchange for not paying the money.

After receiving the complaint, Mohali Police registered a case under sections 111(2), 308(4), 351 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and various provisions of the Information Technology Act.

Under the supervision of Cyber Crime Police Station Inspector Sunil Kumar, the investigation team is examining the phone's IP logs, location, and call records to trace the person who issued the threat. Nothing has yet been proved in court.
