Dhanbad, Feb 11: An alleged extortion demand of Rs 30 lakh in the name of a murder accused of Wasseypur from an official of outsourcing coal company has rocked Dhanbad police administration.
Liaison officer of Hilltop High-rise outsourcing company Bhakti Singh has received extortion messages in the name of a murder accused Prince Khan of Wasseypur, who has been absconding.
Bhakti Singh in his complaint to Kenduadih police station has informed that he had received six messages in the name of Prince Khan to either pay Rs 30 lakh as extortion or he and his son would be killed as Nanhey Khan was murdered. Bhakti Singh said messages came after he did not receive calls six times.
The Outsourcing company officer after lodging a written complaint in the police station also informed circle Inspector Veer Kumar and senior superintendent of police (SSP) Sanjiv Kumar about the extortion call.
In the message, the alleged extortionist has written that pay Rs 30 lakh and at a time and Rs 5 lakh every month. If you have to die don’t pay but if you want to live alive pay immediately. The extortionist has also warned that keeping five- four security guards would not be able to save his life. He (Bhakti Singh) and his son would meet the same fate which happened with Nanhey Khan, a land dealer of Wasseypur.
A police official said that the authenticity of extortion is being investigated and after getting proper report action would be taken.
Last week the police had arrested a criminal who had demanded extortion from a trader in the name of dreaded criminal Aman Singh presently lodged in Hotwar jail Ranchi.
