The shopkeepers informed the police that they were receiving threatening phone calls and videos from Lawrence Bishnoi's gang and like Sidhu Moosewala they will be killed if they fail to pay Rs 2 lakh. "In the video, the gang is saying 'if you do not pay and give us a callback, a complete magazine will be shot down your head'".
