It wants to extort ransom from property tycoons whose recording evidence is already public. He said that in the case of his property projects, investigations have been done four times with the committee under the supervision of the High Court and he always got a clean chit, but this person tells lies repeatedly only to collect ransom and is a fugitive.
He said that his partner Rajinder Singh Taggar is already in jail under the charge of blackmailing. He also said that he has no connection with the petrol pump he is talking about. They never installed any petrol pump.
