Call in name of Bishnoi gang demanding ₹5 crore ransom from actor Tushar Kapoor

Bollywood actor Tushar Kapoor has received a threatening phone call in which a ransom of ₹5 crore was demanded. The caller identified himself as a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Details regarding this incident were provided by Mumbai Police sources. According to news agency IANS and other reports, the person who made the call identified himself as 'Harry Boxer' and claimed to be a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

When Tushar Kapoor received this threatening call with the ransom demand, he informed the Mumbai Police without delay. The actor lodged a complaint with the police. According to police sources, Tushar Kapoor had filed the complaint about a week ago. Taking this serious matter into account, the Mumbai Police immediately initiated an investigation, and the responsibility for investigating this case was assigned to the Anti-Extortion Cell and the Crime Branch.

The Mumbai Crime Branch conducted a preliminary investigation into the matter. As part of the investigation, the technical team of the Crime Branch meticulously analysed the audio recording of the threatening call. The police had official audio samples of Harry Boxer available in their database. The technical team compared the voice of the threatening individual with the original audio samples of Harry Boxer stored in the database.

According to senior police officers, during this voice comparison, it was found that both samples did not match. Investigators also checked this recording against other available audio samples of Harry Boxer, but no match was found in the preliminary voice analysis. Based on this fact, the police suspected that the call was fake and the threatening individual was not actually Harry Boxer.

The police now suspect that an unknown person used the name of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang falsely merely to create fear and extort money. The police believe this could be a hoax, in which an attempt was made to extort ransom by intimidating the actor. Currently, the Mumbai Crime Branch is attempting to identify the person who sent the audio recording and made the call.

Investigators are now focusing on why the caller deliberately took the name of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The police believe that using the gang's name was an attempt to exert pressure on the actor and force him to pay the demanded amount by intimidating him. The police are currently tracing the original source of this threatening message to reach the culprit.

It is noteworthy that Bollywood artists have been in the crosshairs of the Bishnoi gang for some time. According to a report by TV9 Gujarati, this gang has previously targeted individuals ranging from Rohit Shetty's residence to Tiger Shroff. Specifically, an incident of firing occurred on Tiger Shroff, a claim made by individuals associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. This threat received by Tushar Kapoor comes a few weeks after the attack on Tiger Shroff.

A significant aspect of this entire incident is that, although Tushar Kapoor has filed a complaint with the police and an investigation is underway, according to police sources, no official FIR (First Information Report) has been registered in this case yet. The police are currently collecting evidence and continuing the technical investigation.

The Mumbai Police and Crime Branch are now trying to find out where this audio recording originated from and through which medium it was sent. Police officers are investigating every aspect of this case to clarify whether this was merely an individual's fraud or if there is a larger conspiracy behind it. The investigation is still ongoing, and efforts are being made by the police to apprehend the culprit.
