Delhi businessman gets fresh Rs 5-crore extortion threat in Rohit Godara's name
A Delhi-based defence businessman said that he received a fresh extortion demand of Rs 5 crore, accompanied by a death threat issued in the name of gangster Rohit Godara. The entrepreneur has approached the police seeking immediate protection and an investigation into the latest threat, police said.
Sahil Luthra, founder and managing director of Vijayan Trishul Defence Solutions Private Limited, submitted a complaint at the Chanakyapuri police station on November 12, alleging that he received the threat on November 11 at around 8 pm.
In his complaint, Luthra attributed the extortion demand and death threat to gangster Rohit Godara. He also alleged that he has been facing repeated threats and extortion attempts since 2024.
The latest complaint refers to an earlier case registered at the Chanakyapuri police station on October 17, 2025, in connection with the threats against him.
The latest threat comes amid a series of intimidation attempts against Luthra over the past two years. Earlier investigations into threats received by the defence entrepreneur reportedly uncovered interstate links and led to arrests, including that of a dismissed Punjab Police officer.
The latest complaint also raises questions about whether the threat originated from Godara's syndicate or was issued by individuals using the gangster's name. However, this remains to be verified.
Police have received Luthra's complaint and are verifying its contents before taking further necessary action. He has sought immediate police protection, along with a detailed investigation into the latest extortion demand and death threat.- Ends(With PTI inputs)See Also: Gold Price in Delhi | Silver Price in Delhi | CNG Price in Delhi | Delhi Weather Today | Delhi AQI Today About the Author
