A shocking piece of news hit the headlines recently.
After Salman Khan, filmmaker Karan Johar was reportedly the next target of the notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.
As per News18, Siddhesh Kamble, alias Mahakal, an alleged member of Bishnoi’s gang, reportedly told the investigators that they had planned to extort Rs 5 crores from Karan by threatening him, a police official said on Saturday (June 18).
However, a senior police official also told the media that these claims are yet to verify.
Siddesh was a close aide of Santosh Jadhav, who is a suspected shooter in the Punjabi singer-rapper Sidhu Moose Wala murder case, according to ETimes.
In his statement to the police, Siddhesh allegedly claimed that Canada-based gangster Goldie Brar’s brother Vikram Brar had discussed the plans with him on apps like Signal and Instagram.
As per reports, a police officer told PTI –
“With some accused, there is an element of bragging in their confessions. The motive behind bragging is to gain publicity and get bigger extortion amounts. This phenomenon is common in Punjab and other neighbouring states. They (gangsters) want their names to get associated with high-profile cases. Mahakal is a small fish. Vikram Brar told him about Karan Johar. Why Brar told this to Mahakal, who is just a foot soldier? Because Brar wants to increase his clout and impress youths like Mahakal.”
For the unversed, Salman Khan and his father, Salim Khan, had received a threat letter allegedly from jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi that stated “Salim Khan, Salman Khan bahot jald aapka Moosewala hoga k G.B.L.B (You will become like Moosewala).”
