The shadow of the Bishnoi gang looms larger over Bollywood as actor Ayush Sharma, married to Salman Khan’s sister, becomes the latest victim of an extortion email. This revelation comes amid ongoing probes into threats against Ranveer Singh and the brazen firing at Rohit Shetty’s home, where 12 arrests have been made.
According to Mumbai Crime Branch, the email to Sharma claimed affiliation with the Bishnoi gang and demanded massive sums in crores. It’s strikingly similar to the 10-crore demand sent via voice message to Ranveer Singh’s manager from a US number. Harry Boxer, a gang associate, took credit for that threat, vowing murder against Shetty and Singh.
Early analysis suggests Sharma’s email might trace back to Sweden, leading police to collaborate with international agencies for verification. Sharma’s manager has provided a statement, though an FIR is pending. This surge in threats highlights a pattern: the gang is zeroing in on Salman Khan’s close associates.
From firing incidents to cyber extortion, the Bishnoi operations span continents. Mumbai’s top brass is pulling out all stops, contacting US authorities for the suspicious number and awaiting Swedish responses. The industry buzzes with concern as stars bolster security.
This isn’t isolated gang bravado; it’s a calculated assault on Tinseltown’s power players. As clues emerge from global partnerships, expect more arrests and revelations that could dismantle this threat network once and for all.
