Manwinder Singh Giaspura, the MLA from Payal in Punjab, India, has reached out to Punjab's Director General of Police, Gaurav Gupta, after receiving multiple threats allegedly from Balwinder Singh, known as Doni Bal. In a letter dated May 2, Giaspura detailed a series of intimidation calls from international numbers over recent weeks, claiming both he and his associates were being threatened. The situation escalated on April 10 when a commission agent from his constituency received a threatening call demanding money, leading to increased police security for the trader. On April 15, unidentified assailants reportedly fired at the trader's shop in the Payal grain market, although no injuries or property damage occurred. Giaspura noted that threats continued, with callers warning of potential violence against him and others. He reported a separate incident on April 30, where a member of his media team was threatened by three unidentified youths. Giaspura has called for strengthened security measures and a detailed investigation into the threats and extortion network.
