Influencer Deepika Luthra shuts down Instagram account after receiving threats
Babushahi Bureau
Amritsar (Punjab), June 17, 2025: Popular social media influencer Deepika Luthra has shut down her Instagram account following a series of serious death threats,
The threats emerged after Luthra spoke out against controversial Nihang leader Amritpal Singh Mehron, who recently claimed responsibility for the murder of Kamal Kaur Bhabi in a widely circulated video.
In the same video, Mehron issued a chilling warning to Deepika, saying that if she didn’t stop making videos, she would face the same fate — adding ominously that this time, “even the body won’t be found.”
The threats escalated with emails allegedly sent in the name of Babbar Khalsa International, targeting both Deepika Luthra and fellow influencer Preet Jatti. These emails prompted Deepika to file a complaint with the police.
Acting swiftly, Amritsar Police arrested a youth suspected of sending the threatening emails. In light of the threats, security personnel were also deployed outside Deepika's residence for her protection.
