Ranveer Singh Extortion Threat: Bishnoi Gang Asks for Rs 10 Crore From 'Dhurandhar' Actor; Voice Note Belongs to US Number

Ranveer Singh's extortion threat, linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, follows shots fired near Rohit Shetty's home; Mumbai Crime Branch is investigating and coordinating internationally.

  • Earlier this week, Ranveer Singh, Bollywood actor, was allegedly asked to pay Rs 10 crore via a WhatsApp voice note sent to Ranveer's manager.
  • Sources say the voice note was sent after shots were fired outside filmmaker Rohit Shetty's residence earlier this week, while actor Aayush Sharma received an encrypted threat email linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
  • Mumbai Crime Branch has contacted US authorities through official protocol to obtain details about the number used, while forensic steps show investigators are collecting more evidence and say the voice matches Harry Boxer, alleged Bishnoi gang aide.
  • For now, no FIR has been registered, and the police are conducting a preliminary inquiry after the manager's statement was recorded, authorities say.
  • Investigators traced a related encrypted email back to Sweden, prompting Indian authorities to coordinate with Swedish law enforcement to verify the sender and uncover the source.
