Resort owner receives extortion calls from abroad
The frequent SMSs and threatening mobile calls from unknown foreign-based phone numbers have terrorised a resident of Kakka Kandiala village near Tarn Taran town in the name of extortion.
The victim Angrej Singh, who runs a resort near the Amritsar-Chabal bypass, in his complaint to the local city police, has said that calls were received by him from two different mobile numbers on December 25 and December 31 in the morning. The callers were demanding extortion money and threatened to kill him and his family in case he refused to oblige them. He said that the callers immediately disconnected the call after delivering their threatening message. ASI Nishan Singh, who is investigating the complaint, said that a case under Section 308 (4) and 351 of the BNS has been registered on Tuesday.
