Bomb Threat via WhatsApp from International Number
Gursimran Singh Mand, national president of the International Anti-Khalistani Terrorist Front, has alleged that he received a bomb threat and a warning that he could be killed by his own security guard. The threat was delivered via a WhatsApp call and message from an international number by a person claiming to be gangster Goldy Dhillon.
According to Mand, the caller also claimed responsibility for the recent murder of a cashier at a chemist shop in Chandigarh. The Ludhiana police have registered a case based on Mand's complaint and launched an investigation.
Details of the Threat
In his statement to the police, Mand, who is also the national spokesperson of the Niranjani Akhara in Haridwar, said he has been repeatedly targeted by anti-national elements due to his social and national activism. On June 17, while at work, Mand received a WhatsApp call on his personal mobile from an unknown number. The caller allegedly identified himself as Goldy Dhillon and used abusive language. When Mand objected, the caller threatened to throw a bomb into his house and kill him along with his family.
The caller also warned Mand that he would face consequences for speaking out about the murder of the cashier at a Chandigarh chemist shop.
International Number and Police Response
Mand told the police that the WhatsApp call originated from an international number with Portugal's country code (+351 920061648). Police noted that criminals often use virtual or foreign numbers to evade law enforcement. Following the complaint, the Ludhiana Police Commissionerate initiated an investigation. Security personnel deployed with Mand have been alerted, while the cyber and technical cell is working to trace the IP address linked to the number and identify any local associates involved.
