CHANDIGARH, Punjab—Presenting an unconfirmed call recording, Ludhiana based notorious Hindu radical Nishant Sharma has claimed of death threat by a gangster named Sukhpreet Budha. He has claimed that he received a threatening call by Sukhpreet Budha from a private number two days ago.
A mainstream Punjabi channel is airing a call recording in which Nishant Sharma and the person calling himself Sukhpreet Budha could be listened exchanging heated arguments. The caller could also be listened daring Nishant Sharma to come out of Z plus security cover.
Nishant Sharma, who heads a self-styled radical outfit Shiv Sena (Hind), has said that he is ready to go for talk with Sukhpreet Budha so that he could “convince him to quit the path of gang wars and surrender before the Punjab police”.
He has claimed that he didn’t ever speak against Sikhism but staunchly oppose the demand of a sovereign Sikh state Khalistan. He has accused Sikh activists Gurpatwant Singh Pannun and Paramjit Singh Pamma of projecting him in poor light.
It is pertinent to note here that Sukhpreet Budha had claimed responsibility of sacrilege culprit Mohinder Pal Bittu’s murder in the Nabha jail last month. Recently, Nishant Sharma had spoken also against Sukhpreet Budha after which now he has claimed of receiving death threat from Nishant Sharma.
