Chanderbhan Sehgal, chairman, Pataudi Municipal Committee, is a trader who runs nearly 20 liquor shops in the Pataudi area. He alleged that he received a ca on WhatsApp from an international number around 4 pm on Sunday.

“The caller identified himself as Goldy Barar and threatened me, saying, ‘tayyari kar le’ (be prepared). He had information about my family and my son who is studying abroad. The call ended within 30 seconds,” Sehgal alleged.

Police have received a complaint and are investigating to identify if the WhatsApp call originated from another country.

This is not Sehgal’s first tryst with gangsters. He allegedly received a threatening voice message on April 13. The caller identified himself as Goldy Brar and threatened to kill him and his family. “He demanded 50% share in his liquor business, and wanted a portion of my profits without investment,” Sehgal said.

According to Preet Pal Sangwan, assistant commissioner of police (crime), Akash and Arjun revealed that they wanted a share in Sehgal’s business. “They were also involved in two murder and assault cases from February and March, and were on the run,” he said.

Police also said that the two are acquainted with sharpshooters of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The gang killed two liquor businessmen in Pataudi in February to establish their supremacy in the liquor trade.

Sangwan said Sehgal demanded security for his family members, following which a team has been deployed in the area. Barricades and checkpoints have also been set up in adjoining areas.

“I need police protection as my life is in danger. What if they come and kill me? This is the second threat from the same gangster. Even if he is abroad, his men are roaming freely. Two members of the gang are already behind bars on my complaint, and they might take revenge for it,” Sehgal said.
