Singer Arijit Singh threatened by gangster Ravi Pujari

Gangster Ravi Pujari demands a ransome of Rs 5 crore

It is reported that celebrated singer Arijit Singh has been receiving threats from the underworld. Apparently, gangster Ravi Pujari has threatened the renowned singer, reports BollywoodLife. The notorious gangster Ravi Pujari has reportedly threatened Arijit over the phone, demanding a ransome of Rs 5 crore. The well-known singer hasn’t lodged a formal complaint against Pujari in the matter as yet.

Speaking to a leading daily about the incident Singh says, “This is the first time something like this has happened to me. And I don’t think it is a big deal at all. All organisers want to make money and this is getting out of hand because of Ravi Pujari’s name being involved. It’s all a part and parcel of the business.”

Arijit also revealed how the episode came to happen. He said, “”I am touring the US in September and have a lot of shows coming up there. The shows are being handled by Nattu bhai, who had organised my US tour in 2014 as well. Nattu bhai co-ordinates with promoters from different cities and gets a lot of last-minute requests for extra shows. We decided to not go ahead with one such promoter because he kept bargaining for a lower budget. This particular promoter had certain connections and contacted Ravi Pujari, who exerted a lot of pressure of my manager, Tarsane. I do not answer calls when I am at my studio and Pujari kept pressurising Tarsane, who got scared and informed me of the calls, and then filed a police complaint.”
