Defence entrepreneur Sahil Luthra alleges fresh death threat from gangster Rohit Godara; seeks Delhi Police protection

Entrepreneur and doting defence father Sahil Luthra reported to the Delhi Police about facing death threats for the second time with extortion attempts; Godara, reportedly a gangster, was said to have made the latest threat.

Luthra, founder and Managing Director of Vijyan Trishul Defence Solution (VTDS) Private Limited, submitted a written complaint to Chanakyapuri Police Station's Station House Officer on November 12, seeking police protection and a thorough criminal investigation.

New threat of 8:03 PM with surveillance allegations

The complaint in New Delhi states that a threat was received by him on November 11 at 8:03 PM.

Subsequently, the businessman expressed concern over his safety, saying that he was being abused by demands for continued extortion and intimidation starting in 2024:

Surveillance charges: Luthra alleged that an unknown individual is keeping him under surveillance.

Leaking of confidential information: A breach of sensitive information has also been reported, urging the capture of those leaking it.

Police protection demand: Luthra urged the Delhi Police to ensure his immediate safety and asked the investigation to probe the roles of Rohit Godara and his associates in committing the crimes.

Previous FIR and Rs 10 crore international extortion plot

Luthra's present filing concerns the original FIR (No. 120/2025) lodged on October 17, 2025, at Chanakyapuri Police Station regarding the consistent threats and extortion attempts.

In June, Luthra had disclosed that there was a supposed plan for extorting Rs 10 crore from him, reporting numerous missed WhatsApp calls and messages made by international criminals. In his explanation, he claimed that the threats had been happening in waves — starting in August–September 2025, appearing again in June 2026, and concluding with the threat made on November 11.

Court proceedings on the linked conspiracy case

The investigation had resulted in arrests in connection with the broader extortion case connected with the defence executive.

In August, the Court of Patiala House, Delhi allowed Gurpinder Singh, the involved accused in the case related to the alleged conspiracy, to be released on bail. The bail was allowed for Singh with a bond for Rs 50,000 and the same amount of the surety.

While delivering the order, the court stated that although there are serious accusations against the accused, his custody is not needed for investigations anymore.
