‘I Vipraj Nigam, son of Vijay Kumar Nigam, resident of Bhatkheda Ward, Haidergarh, District Barabanki (Present address – Nagar Kotwali, District Barabanki).
Since September 2025, I have been receiving continuous threatening calls and messages from Richa Purohit (mobile no. 92369XXXXX). When I blocked this number, Richa Purohit started sending threatening calls and messages from several international numbers — 98100XXXXX, 13475XXXXX, 17423762299 etc.
These constant threats are warning me that if I do not comply with her demands, she will implicate me in false and serious criminal cases. Besides, the caller is also trying to defame me publicly by making false and objectionable video-photos viral.
I am being mentally harassed. There is a serious threat to my safety and reputation. This appears to be a deliberate attempt to intimidate, threaten and blackmail me.
Please register my complaint and get the matter thoroughly investigated and take strict legal action against the concerned.
