Punjabi sensation B Praak finds himself in the crosshairs of a dangerous extortion plot after receiving a death threat demanding a whopping Rs 10 crore. The singer wasted no time in approaching the police, lodging a complaint that has kicked off a rigorous manhunt for the perpetrator.
The ominous call came in under the cover of night, with the unidentified voice delivering a stark ultimatum: pay up or face elimination. B Praak, celebrated for chart-topping tracks such as ‘Miss You’ and ‘Sufna’, described the ordeal as terrifying, noting the caller’s familiarity with his daily routine.
Police have swung into action, filing charges for extortion and threats to life. Forensic teams are dissecting the audio recording, while mobile data analysts track the signal’s path. Authorities suspect involvement of an organized gang preying on high-profile figures in the entertainment world.
Social media erupted in solidarity, with celebrities like Guru Randhawa and Nimrat Khaira voicing their outrage. B Praak’s devoted fanbase has organized virtual prayer chains, amplifying calls for his safety amid this crisis.
Experts point to a surge in such cyber-enabled threats, often routed through VoIP services to mask identities. The Mumbai Police, coordinating with Punjab counterparts given B Praak’s base, have issued alerts to other artists.
In a statement, B Praak expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support while vowing not to bow to fear. ‘Music is my life, and no threat will silence my voice,’ he affirmed. As investigators close in on vital leads, the case highlights the urgent need for robust security protocols for public figures in the digital age.
