Khemka, who is in the news following the recent controversy over land deals involving Robert Vadra, has claimed to have received two threat calls. On state Chief Secretary PK Chaudhery having called him following the threat complaint to Panckula Police, he said that "as long as police identify the caller and nab him and take a legal action against him it is fair enough."
