The incident was reported on August 30, and an initial probe suggests that the case may not be the handiwork of an imposter. In fact, the police investigation has revealed that the number used to send the threat has been traced to a location outside of India.

Goldy Brar, whose real name is Satinderjeet Singh, is a known gangster with ties to the Bambiha gang. He has been involved in several high-profile cases in the past and has been on the radar of law enforcement agencies for some time.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the real estate community in Delhi, with many developers and builders expressing concern about the safety and security of their businesses.
