He alleged that he was frequently approached by officials while visiting the Ludhiana cyber police station for case assistance. Senior Punjab Police officials allegedly held him captive, intimidated him, and coerced him into preparing a report that suited their requirements, he claimed.Related news: In fresh video, Samra claims data exchange with Swati Maliwal, hints at more CM Mann videosGot controversial video clip from MP Swati Maliwal, alleges Canadian NRI SamraHe also said he was unaware that his work would be used to mislead Akal Takht.The controversy stems from an alleged video involving the Punjab CM that was considered “highly sensitive” by a Sikh religious organisation.
