The accused had allegedly called Channi and threatened him of dire consequences in case he failed to pay the money. Kabale, who was arrested from Nagpur, is a chef by profession.

In his complaint, Channi stated that the caller addressed him by his name and claimed that their gang members were roaming near his Morinda house and could kill him any time.

Channi said the police had not arrested the key accused.

“This is a cover-up by the state government to hide its failure,” added the former CM.

Ropar SSP Gulneet Singh Khurana said the accused had already confessed to the crime and the court had remanded him in three-day police custody.
