A top Punjabi musician, B Praak, reported a serious issue to cops in Mohali. Unknown people called him, pretending to belong to the Lawrence Bishnoi group. These callers wanted ten crore rupees. They also threatened his life. Police verified the incident happened. This took place on Saturday.
Something odd started with a call meant for someone else – B Praak didn’t hear it first. Instead, word came through Dilnoor, another artist linked to him by work. Officers found traces of pressure building: calls that felt off, then a recorded voice pushing for cash. The demand carried weight, loud enough to prompt an investigation.
On January 5, Dilnoor got two missed calls from a number he did not recognize, according to what was told to the authorities. One day later, a call came through from abroad. Something about how the person spoke made him uneasy, so he hung up right away. Moments passed before a threatening voice note arrived on his phone.
A voice on the recording claimed to be Arju Bishnoi, asking for ten crore rupees using B Praak’s name. This request came with specific directions for Dilnoor – deliver it straight to the singer. One detail stood out – the deadline was seven days. Escape anywhere, even overseas, yet trouble follows if anyone linked to the artist stays close by. Damage would come, those words were used exactly like that.
A warning came through, spelling out harsh outcomes should the request go unanswered – phrased bluntly: the singer would be “reduced to dust.” Fearing what might follow, Dilnoor walked into the SSP office in Mohali later that day with a formal note detailing the danger.
A report led officers to open a file, then track where the calls came from, who made them, followed by checking ties to crime groups. Authorities mentioned digital experts joined alongside intel units; they now study phone logs together with audio snippets.
Word from officers says they’re checking safety issues too, since more demands for money through fear have hit officials and owners lately in north India.
From small beginnings came big fame – B Praak now stands tall among today’s leading voices in Indian music. His work hits deep, touching listeners through raw honesty instead of polish. Hit after hit built a loyal audience nationwide, drawn by sound that feels real. Recognition followed – not just crowds cheering but respect from peers too. What sets him apart isn’t flash, it’s staying true to emotion in every note sung.
A string of violence and threats tied to the Lawrence Bishnoi group has surfaced recently. One night not long ago, shots rang out near a businessperson’s home in Rohini, Delhi – about two dozen bullets fired. Following that, gunfire marked a gym in Paschim Vihar without warning.
Another burst happened at an office space owned by an entrepreneur in East Delhi soon after.
Gunfire echoed near certain spots in Delhi after phone callers threatened people and asked for cash. When nobody paid, shots rang out soon afterward. Officers say they caught some of those tied to at least two such cases following confrontations. The pattern showed up clearly across multiple episodes.
Right now, officers are still looking into who threatened B Praak. When they find those responsible, consequences will follow – authorities made that clear.
