Extortion Allegations Against Prince Khan Involve 5 Crore Demand

A fresh extortion claim has emerged against Prince Khan, the fugitive gangster from Vaspur, alleging that he demanded a five‑crore rupee lump sum and a monthly payment of two crore rupees from Ankur Bio Chemical, a chemical manufacturing firm based in Nirsa. The demand was allegedly communicated through a WhatsApp message that used a tone of cooperation rather than overt intimidation, citing the need for funds to support jailed gang members and cover legal expenses.

Ankur Sharma, the owner of the firm, and his partner Sunil Sahu received the message and immediately reported it to the Dhanbad police. The complaint has triggered a joint investigation involving the Special Branch, Dhanbad police, and the National Investigation Agency, which has now arrived in the city to examine the financial and communication trails.

Investigators are also probing a possible Pakistan connection that could be providing logistical or monetary assistance to Khan’s network. Intelligence agencies are reviewing cross‑border financial flows, looking for any foreign funding that may be linked to the extortion scheme.

In parallel, police have engaged in a recent encounter with two of Khan’s henchmen, resulting in injuries on both sides. Authorities say they are maintaining continuous surveillance on the entire criminal network, aiming to disrupt the flow of illicit money and dismantle the organized crime structure that operates across Dhanbad and neighboring districts.
