Tusshar Kapoor Gets Rs 5 Cr Extortion Threat From Caller Claiming To Be Lawrence Bishnoi Gang Member
Police say a technical review found the caller’s voice did not match Harry Boxer’s sample, raising doubts that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang was involved.
- Bollywood actor Tusshar Kapoor reported receiving an extortion call from a man claiming to be Harry Boxer, a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, who demanded Rs 5 crore.
- The Mumbai Police's Anti-Extortion Cell and Crime Branch analyzed the audio recording of the threatening call and compared the voice with official samples of Harry Boxer available in their database.
- According to senior police sources, the voice samples did not match, raising suspicion that someone had falsely used the gang's name to intimidate Kapoor rather than being an actual gang member.
- Similar extortion threats targeting traders have recently surfaced in Mira-Bhayandar and Nagpur, with eight jewellers in Nagpur receiving threat letters demanding Rs 10 lakh each in the gang's name.
- Police investigations into these extortion cases found no established link to the Bishnoi gang, suggesting local criminals are exploiting the group's notoriety to create fear and extract money from victims.
