Hoshiarpur NRI gets threat call

After claiming responsibility for the recent grenade attack in Jalandhar, Pakistan-based don Shehzad Bhatti has now threatened NRI Simran Sikand, a resident of Hoshiarpur, with a grenade attack on his house.

Bhatti reportedly told Sikand via audio/video calls that five persons, including him, were on his target and that the attack on “Roger’s house in Jalandhar was carried out by his men as part of that series”.

Sikand’s mother Neeru Sikand has lodged a complaint with the Model Town police here. She has alleged that her son Simran, who lives in Canada, has been threatened of a grenade attack by Shehzad Bhatti. Their lives were in danger, she said.

Model Town police station SHO Kiran Singh said, “A 112 response vehicle equipped with CCTV cameras has been deployed on one side of their house and a PCR vehicle on the other.”
