Bollywood is reeling from yet another gangster threat, this time aimed squarely at Ranveer Singh. A voice note demanding 10 crore in ransom, sent from a US number, has been pinned on Harry Boxer of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The timing couldn’t be more ominous—mere days after assailants fired shots outside Rohit Shetty’s Juhu bungalow.
Crime Branch sleuths have authenticated the voice as Boxer’s, with digital forensics showing VPN usage to obscure the origin abroad. Ranveer acted decisively, notifying Mumbai Police who swiftly upgraded his protection with round-the-clock guards at his home. Statements from his manager have been taken, fueling a comprehensive probe into the gang’s motives.
Harry Boxer, whose journey from boxing champion to fugitive gangster is legendary, exemplifies the Bishnoi network’s evolution. Past threats to other stars suggest a calculated campaign against the film world. Though preliminary stages, the case sees no FIR but active evidence hunts, including outreach to American counterparts for number tracing.
This brazen act post-Shetty incident raises alarms about coordinated hits. Mumbai’s law keepers are leaving no stone unturned, aiming to neutralize the overseas threat. For Ranveer and his peers, it’s a stark reminder of the shadows lurking beyond the spotlight, as police work to restore security in an industry under siege.
