Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh allegedly received a Rs 10 crore extortion demand from members of the Bishnoi gang earlier this month. Sources told ABP News that the threat was delivered via a WhatsApp voice note sent to his manager from a US-based number.
According to sources, the Mumbai Crime Branch has initiated contact with the concerned US authorities through official protocol to obtain details about the number used to send the message.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the voice in the WhatsApp note matches that of Harry Boxer, believed to be a close aide of the Bishnoi gang. The voice note allegedly demanded Rs 10 crore from the actor. However, officials are continuing to gather additional evidence to substantiate the findings.
Sources further revealed that the threatening message was sent after shots were fired outside filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s residence earlier this week.
Following the threat, security around Ranveer Singh has been tightened. The Crime Branch has also recorded the statement of the actor’s manager as part of the ongoing investigation.
