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

The extortion threat to Ranveer Singh, linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, follows a recent firing incident and involves a demand of Rs 10 crore, police said.

  • Earlier this week, Mumbai police say Ranveer Singh was allegedly asked to pay Rs 10 crore via a WhatsApp voice note sent to his manager from a US-based number linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
  • Sources say, after shots fired outside Rohit Shetty's residence earlier this week, investigators traced an encrypted ProtonMail threat email to Sweden, linked to the Bishnoi gang.
  • Preliminary checks show the voice in the note matches Harry Boxer, alleged aide of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, investigators say.
  • The Crime Branch recorded the actor's manager's statement and is continuing to gather additional evidence without registering an FIR, as security around Ranveer Singh was increased after the threat surfaced.
  • Cross-Border tracing underway shows investigators are in contact with US authorities and Swedish law enforcement, after tracing the phone number used to send the voice note.
