After this, a 41-second voice recording was sent on WhatsApp, saying – “Kanha, how are you? Rahul will call you, talk to you. Do something so that both sides can talk, otherwise you will not be able to carry gold.” The voice recording clearly contains a demand of Rs 5 crore and a warning to be prepared to face the consequences if the call is ignored. Khatik told that he felt nervous after hearing the call and registered a case at Kotwali police station the next day. Kotwali police station officer Tulsiram Prajapat said the threatening number is strange and it is being investigated. Three policemen are under constant surveillance outside Khatik’s house. Police said many calls could not be answered in time due to congestion and Khatik’s recent brain bleed and tumor treatment. 50-year-old Kanhaiyalal Khatik is also the working state president of All India Khatik Samaj. He told that he got very nervous after hearing the call and knowing that the ransom demand was Rs 5 crore. The police have increased security for their safety and investigation into the incident is ongoing.
