'Bigg Boss 10' contestant Manu Punjabi has recently revealed that he was threatened to be killed like Punjabi rapper and singer Sidhu Moose Wala.
On Twitter, Manu thanked the Jaipur police for arresting a man who tried to extort Rs 10 lakh from him.
In an interview with Chandigarh Times, Manu said that he received an email from someone saying that he is from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The mail went on to state that if he didn’t send the money in the next four hours, he would be killed.
Reportedly, he was also warned in the mail to not contact the police. The former 'Bigg Boss' contestant also shared that the email, in the end, had digital signatures from Goldy Brar (the Canada-based gangster who reportedly claimed responsibility for murdering Sidhu Moose Wala).
Manu said his family is still afraid and they also forced him to cancel his events a few days back.
Manu tweeted, "I feel blessed and thankful to @Tomarhricha Add SP RamSingh ji Comm Anand shrivastav Ji @jaipur_police to provide me security and find out the culprit. I got email, claiming to be from gang of #SidhuMooseWala murderers demanding 10Lakh or else they would kill me. Last week was stressful."
Reportedly, the 31-year-old man who allegedly sent the email to Manu, was arrested from Uttar Pradesh's Bijnor area.
The man has been identified as Kulveer Singh Chauhan aka Tony and it seems that he was a drug addict.
Sidhu Moose Wala was shot in broad daylight in Punjab last month.
