Parveen was involved in extorting and accepting money from Tanna. To get the details about everyone’s role and collect evidence relating to the same, police asked for custody for seven days and the court has approved custody up to September 22.”

Tanna, who is in the construction business, claimed that Singh and his team extorted crores of rupees by threatening to get him involved in a fake crime case.
