After Parmish Verma, Chandigarh’s leading chemist gets extortion threats
Sampat Nehra, one of the gangsters to claim responsibility for attack on Punjabi singer Parmish Verma last week, has allegedly made extortion calls to the owner of Kumar Brothers, a leading medical store in Chandigarh.
Sampat Nehra is a member of Lawrence Bishnoi gang. He made WhatsApp call and sent voice messages to Parmod Kumar, owner of the Sector-11 store demanding Rs 1 crore, said a senior police officer.
“The caller asked the businessman to pay the money to his aides at the earliest or face consequences,” said the police officer. “We have provided security to the medical store owner and deployed commandos. Cops in civvies are also on vigil near the shop and house of Kumar Brothers.”
Kumar Brothers are one of the leading chemists in the city. UT police suspect the gangsters may have made such threat calls to other businessmen too, though no one has come forward.
Singer Parmish Verma was shot in the middle of the night in Mohali by the gangster who had earlier made extortion calls to him. He was taken to Fortis Hospital Mohali immediately. His friend was also injured in the incident.
