Former Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) president Ronak Khatri on Monday (September 29, 2025) lodged a complaint with Delhi Police, alleging that he had received a threat call demanding ₹5 crore from an international number.
The congress-backed National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) leader Mr. Khatri, in his complaint addressed to the Deputy Commissioner of Police (outer north), said he received the threat call at 12:44 p.m. on Monday (September 29) from a number with Ukraine’s country code.
The caller allegedly claimed association with the Rohit Godara gang and threatened to kill him if the money is not paid.
“Immediately after the call, I also received a WhatsApp message from the same number repeating the demand and the death threat,” Mr. Khatri stated in his complaint.
Mr. Khatri added, “This incident is not only a case of serious criminal intimidation and extortion but also raises grave concerns regarding my personal safety and that of my family.”
The student leader filed the complaint via email, attaching screenshots of the call and the WhatsApp message as evidence.
He also urged the police to provide immediate protection and initiate an action under the relevant Sections of the IPC and IT Act.
Confirming receipt of the complaint, DCP (Outer North) Hareshwar Swami said, “We have received a complaint of extortion from Ronak Khatri today at 2:52 pm via email and the necessary action will be taken.”
