New Delhi, Jul 11: In a chilling case of extortion, a Delhi Police Head Constable posted in Vikaspuri has allegedly received a ransom demand of Rs 10 crore from a close associate of notorious gangster Himanshu alias Bhau. The incident came to light after an audio clip surfaced, in which the caller can be heard issuing direct threats to the officer and his family.
As per reports, the constable received two threatening phone calls from an unknown number. The caller was later identified as Sahil Ritoli, a close aide of Himanshu Bhau – a dreaded gangster on the most-wanted list of both Delhi and Haryana police.
In the audio, Ritoli allegedly says, “I have found out everything about you… just watch out as you have children too,” in a veiled threat to the cop’s family.
The head constable, who is reportedly a close friend of slain former cop-turned-financier Manjeet Ahlawat alias Dighal, had initially filed a complaint, but no FIR was registered. Manjeet was shot dead in December 2024 at a wedding in Rohtak after allegedly refusing to pay extortion money to the Bhau gang.
However, after the matter reached senior authorities, a case was finally registered on July 8 under Section 384 of the Indian Penal Code at Vikaspuri Police Station. Delhi Police have launched a full-scale investigation and are actively working to trace the origin of the threatening call. Providing security to the constable is also being considered.
Himanshu, infamously known as ‘Bhau’, is one of the most feared names in the northern crime belt, with multiple serious cases registered against him in Rohtak, Jhajjar, and Delhi. An Interpol Red Corner Notice has also been issued against him.
Authorities revealed that Bhau fled the country using a passport obtained through forged documents. He is currently believed to be operating his extortion racket from Portugal and is said to have close links with the Neeraj Bawana and Naveen Bali gangs.
The resurfacing of Bhau’s network through fresh threats has once again raised alarm in Delhi-NCR’s policing circles, as investigations continue into what appears to be an international web of organised crime
