Chandigarh, April 19: The increasing use of social media — be it Facebook or WhatsApp — by gangsters in Punjab as a platform to boast of their activities, has become a challenge for police.
Gangster Dilpreet Singh had recently taken to the social media hours after Punjabi singer Parmish Verma and his friend Kulwant Singh Chahal, were shot at in Sector 74, Mohali, on the intervening night of April 13 and 14. The two were discharged from Fortis Hospital, Mohali, on Wednesday.
A day later, Dilpreet had again taken to Facebook threatening to strike again and firing 500 bullets to kill Parmish. He had even named his accomplices who were with him at the time of attack as Akash Maharastar, Harinder Singh Maharastar and Sukhpreet Singh Buddha.His Facebook page has 11,506 followers.
Earlier, Dilpreet had been using WhatsApp’s calling feature to make extortion calls to Parmish.
