Even after his discharge, the harassment continued as he issued his life threat, and took the signatures of Fahim and Farheen forcibly on blank papers, blank cash vouchers, and e-stamp papers.
The complainant has further said that when he was asked to pay the profit which he had refused earlier, he instead demanded an amount of Rs.1,50,00,000/-.
