Delhi Police Arrest Three in Rs 10 Crore Extortion Case Involving Defence FirmPreviousNext

Delhi Police arrested three men, including a dismissed Punjab Police assistant sub-inspector, for allegedly extorting Rs 10 crore from Sahil Luthra, founder of defence firm Vijayan Trishul Defence Solutions. The suspects, Gurpinder Singh, Shamsher Singh, and Jaswant Singh, reportedly threatened Luthra using names of gangster Goldy Brar and Khalistani groups since August 2025, including firing outside his Amritsar residence. Investigations involved digital evidence and surveillance, leading to the arrests and linking two extortion cases across Delhi and Punjab.
