Singh said that he has filed the police complaint after the threat call.
he further alleged that the caller identifying himself as 'Happy' has threatened to kill him before Diwali.
"I reached the SSP of Amritsar Rural Police on Saturday to file a complaint," he said.
"Today, we submitted a complaint to SSP Amritsar Rural. Yesterday I got a threat call from a person named Happy who threatened to kill me before Diwali. I think they want to target me because I am a Hindu leader," said Santokh Singh.

In this regard, Superintendent of police (SP) Jaswant Kaur assured, "The incident will be investigated and action will be taken."
