Jalandhar, October 7, 2026: Veer Davinder Singh, popularly known in Jalandhar for his “Heart Attack Paratha,” has alleged that he received a threatening phone call, following which he approached senior Punjab Police authorities seeking an investigation and protection.
According to Davinder Singh, he has brought the matter to the notice of Punjab Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav and requested that the alleged call be investigated. He has sought action to identify the person behind the communication and determine the circumstances in which the alleged threat was made.
Davinder Singh runs his food business in the Model Town area of Jalandhar and became widely known after videos of his parathas gained popularity on social media. His stall attracted further attention after comedian Kapil Sharma and his wife Ginni Chatrath visited it, making the vendor and his unusually named parathas familiar to audiences beyond the city.

The latest development has once again brought Davinder Singh into public attention. However, the precise contents of the alleged threatening conversation, the number from which the call was received and the identity of the person allegedly involved have not been independently established at this stage.
Davinder Singh has requested senior police officials to examine the available call-related information and take appropriate legal action if evidence of intimidation or criminal conduct is found. Any technical details associated with the call would need to be examined by investigators before responsibility could be attributed to an individual.
This is not the first time Davinder Singh has approached senior authorities regarding issues concerning his business and personal safety. In the past, he has publicly sought intervention from senior Punjab Police officials and the state government following disputes involving his Model Town food stall. Jagran
His “Heart Attack Paratha” business has remained prominent on social media because of the large, desi-ghee-based parathas served at his stall. The publicity surrounding the food outlet has brought him considerable recognition, while previous disputes connected with the stall have also attracted public attention.
In the present case, the alleged threat remains a matter requiring police verification. A complaint by itself does not establish the identity or guilt of any person, and any further action will depend on the evidence gathered by the authorities.
At the time of publication, no publicly available official police statement independently confirming the identity of the alleged caller or announcing an arrest in connection with the complaint had been located. Further details are expected if Punjab Police formally responds to the complaint or begins proceedings based on the information submitted by Davinder Singh.
