Two men shot at the home of Pargat Singh, a transporter linked to the family of slain rapper Sidhu Moose Wala, in Mansa on Sunday night. Following the incident, Singh received threats demanding Rs 30 lakh in extortion. The threats came from a UK number, claiming to be from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
