The warrant of arrest has been returned with the observation that the accused could not be found….In view of this a proclamation is made that the accused is required to appear before the court to answer the complaint”.

He threatened to kidnap his children if he did not pay Rs 1 crore. Later, he was told to pay Rs 25 lakh to one Manjit Singh who told him that he was a relative of alleged gangster Sampat Nehra. Manjit was arrested on February 9.
