Bihar Minister Santosh Kumar Singh claimed that he received a threatening call from notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.<\/p>\n
The caller, who identified himself as Bishnoi, demanded Rs 30 lakh and warned Singh of a similar fate as NCP leader Baba Siddique, who was brutally murdered in Mumbai on October 12.<\/p>\n
Mr Singh said that he would file an FIR. “… I received a call some time ago and the caller identified himself as Lawrence Bishnoi and he asked for Rs 30 lakh, I denied and cut the call… He called again reminding me of Baba Siddiqui and asked for the money threatening to kill me the same way, but I cut the call… He called again and again and told me how he knew everything about me and I asked how to send the money… He then sent a scanner for the transaction…,” he told ANI on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The minister, however, refused to give in to the demands and instead informed the Director General of Police (DGP), who is currently investigating the matter.<\/p>\n
“I informed DGP. He is conducting an investigation. I will file a first information report… I have no cases on me now and no political enemies… Let the report come, this Rs 30 lakh will cost him a lot…,” Mr Singh added.<\/p>\n
NCP leader Baba Siddique was shot dead by three assailants near his son, MLA Zeeshan Siddique’s, office in Mumbai’s Nirmal Nagar on October 12.<\/p>\n
Police have also arrested Salman Vohra and Akashdeep Singh in connection with the murder. Vohra has been accused of financing the murder.<\/p>\n
According to the information received from a senior officer of the Mumbai Crime Branch, the investigation of the Mumbai Crime Branch has revealed that after the murder of Baba Siddiqui, a big leader of Pune was also on the radar of the Bishnoi gang.<\/p>\n
