A shocking extortion racket unfolds in Bollywood as Mumbai Crime Branch links Bishnoi gang operative Harry Boxer to a Rs 1 crore demand sent via voice note to Ranveer Singh’s team. This revelation comes hot on the heels of the firing incident at director Rohit Shetty’s bungalow, painting a picture of coordinated gang activity aimed at Tinseltown’s top stars.
Preliminary voice verification points squarely at Boxer, though forensic confirmation is pending. The threat, disguised through a VPN with foreign servers, was routed to Singh’s manager, prompting immediate security enhancements for the ‘Padmaavat’ star.
Crime Branch’s meticulous investigation includes grilling the manager three days ago and probing the digital trail. Interpol’s assistance is key to decoding the sender’s real-time location, potentially exposing hideouts abroad.
The gang’s strategy appears sequential: first, the Shetty residence attack to create panic, followed by this financial shakedown. Statements from Aayush Sharma’s manager further suggest a web ensnaring Salman Khan’s family, reinforcing theories of a protection racket.
Shetty and Ranveer’s professional synergy—seen in blockbuster hits—makes them prime targets, according to sleuths. As evidence mounts, including voice forensics and network traces, authorities vow to dismantle this threat. Bollywood’s glitz often masks such dangers, but this probe could deliver a decisive blow to gang influence in Mumbai’s film circuit.
