In a police complaint, Bharti Singh has alleged that Pradeep Chauhan, who is known to her family had recorded her conversation with him on August 6 and then threatened to post it on social media unless he was paid Rs. 2 crore. She also said that he threatened to misuse the videos.
Bharti Singh has reportedly told the police that Chauhan has a licensed revolver and has threatened her family with harm.
In her FIR, she said, she is unsure of the content of those clips, but that Chauhan has been harassing her with phone calls in which he has warned he will ruin her husband's reputation.
Police sources claim that the suspect intended to splice her conversation to distort the content.
General Singh retired as army chief in 2012 and then joined the BJP. He is one of two ministers of state for Foreign Affairs.
