Delhi CM Kejriwal, daughter receive death threats in extortion demand

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his daughter Harshita received death threats via phone call on Wednesday, according to a complaint filed by AAP MLA Jarnail Singh. The caller allegedly demanded ₹7 crore from the CM and threatened to kill both Kejriwal and his daughter if the money was not paid. The caller reportedly claimed to be affiliated with the Bishnoi gang, a criminal syndicate known for extortion and violence across northern India. Police registered a case based on the complaint in Punjab, where the call is believed to have originated. Investigators are examining call records and conducting preliminary inquiries to trace the origin of the threatening calls and identify those responsible for the extortion attempt. The Bishnoi gang has been involved in several high-profile extortion cases targeting prominent figures and business establishments in recent months.
