Sidhu said the anonymous sender has used a tactic to get his money back from Amit Narang. However, the police would soon solve the case and arrest the accused, he said.

He said Narang has been residing in the society for the past four months and had not paid the rent since then and even owes crores to a bank.

In the letter sent by the accused, it was mentioned that Narang owes him ₹16-crore and asked other residents to tell Narang to either return his money or the entire tower would be blown off in a blast.

Sidhu said some miscreants were trying to use RPG attack incident as an opportunity to spread panic. He said those found guilty would be sternly dealt with.
