Sidhu Moose Wala’s Ex-Manager's Father Arrested in ₹1 Crore Extortion Case

In connection with a ransom demand case in Ludhiana, the police have arrested the father of Shaganpreet Singh, the alleged former manager of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala. According to the police, the involvement of both the father and the son has come to light in this matter.

This case pertains to the Payal area of ​​Khanna, where a commission agent (Arhati) was recently subjected to a ransom demand of one crore rupees. The individual demanding the ransom threatened the victim while identifying himself as the gangster 'Donny Bal.' Upon receiving the complaint, the Khanna police registered a case and initiated an investigation.

During the course of the investigation, it was revealed that the ransom demand was orchestrated jointly by Shaganpreet Singh—who is currently based in Australia—and his father, Saudagar Singh Sarao, who resides in Punjab. Subsequently, the police arrested Saudagar Singh in Payal.

Meanwhile, Shaganpreet's mother, Daljit Kaur, lodged a complaint with the DGP of Chandigarh. She alleged that the Chandigarh and Punjab police had picked up her husband from their home and held him in illegal custody. She further claimed that he was assaulted during this period and that the police demanded a sum of 10 lakh rupees.

Daljit Kaur stated that her husband's life is in danger. She has demanded that the DGP ensure her husband's safe recovery and that an FIR be registered against the concerned police officials, followed by strict disciplinary action.

If you disconnect this call, be warned that I have the full address of your commission agency shop located in the Payal Grain Market." Accused States: "Keep Your Children Safe." According to the commission agent, the accused asserted, "I am not making a fake call; go ahead and play whatever recording you wish to play.
