Event Summary

A Delhi court, presided over by Chief Judicial Magistrate Nupur Gupta, discharged gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, Haren Sarapdadiya, and Ashish Sharma in an alleged ₹1 crore extortion case. The court ruled that the prosecution, led by the India===Delhi Police Crime Branch, failed to provide sufficient material to establish the essential ingredients of extortion, such as actual delivery of property or a visible overt act of putting the complainant, Raman Deep Singh, in fear. The investigation was criticized for relying primarily on disclosure statements without corroborating evidence like call records. The case stemmed from a complaint by Raman Deep Singh, who alleged receiving threatening calls demanding ₹1 crore in April 2023.
