Bollywood- Punjabi playback singer and music composer B Praak, who has firmly established himself as a celebrated name in the Hindi film industry, has reportedly received a chilling ransom threat demanding ₹10 crore. The incident has sent shockwaves through the music fraternity and raised serious security concerns.

According to reports, the Mohali police have registered an extortion case at the Sohana police station against Arju Bishnoi and several unidentified individuals. The case pertains to an alleged attempt to extort a massive sum of money from the award-winning singer.

The threat did not come to B Praak directly. Instead, the caller—who identified himself as Arju Bishnoi, allegedly linked to the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang-contacted Punjabi singer Dilnoor, a close friend of B Praak. The call was made on January 6, followed by a voice message clearly spelling out the ransom demand.

Dilnoor, shaken by the call, immediately approached the police. In his complaint, he stated that the caller instructed him to inform B Praak to pay ₹10 crore within a week, warning of severe consequences if the demand was ignored.

The incident comes at a time when B Praak has been enjoying both professional success and personal milestones. Having carved a strong space for himself in Bollywood with chart-topping songs, the singer has also been sharing glimpses of his personal life with fans. Off late, B Praak has posted videos of himself building his new house, giving followers a peek into his dream home—making the timing of the threat even more unsettling.

Kerala High Court Reserves Verdict on Release of The Kerala Story 2

A division bench of the Kerala High Court set aside its decision for later on the appeal filed by the producer of The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond. The appeal challenges a single judge’s interim directive that temporarily halted the film’s theatrical release. The movie had been slated to premiere on February 27. The bench reviewed whether the single judge was justified in suspending the release for 15 days even though the film had already secured certification. During arguments, the judges noted that the objections raised against the certification resembled a public interest litigation an
