The concerns regarding the safety and security of celebrities have reignited after a series of recent incidents. Days after Rohit Shetty`s house was attacked, actor Ranveer Singh received a threatening voice note on Tuesday evening. While Mumbai Police continues to investigate the matter, new details have now emerged.
VPN used to send threat messages to Ranveer Singh?
A News18 report claims that a source informed them that the threatening voice message received by Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh on WhatsApp, sent via a VPN number. The source added that the VPN usage is making the sender’s IP address and location untraceable. The message reportedly demanded a large sum of money and even claimed links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
After receiving the threat, Ranveer Singh immediately informed the Mumbai Police. As a result, authorities heightened security outside his residence. Mumbai Police also launched an investigation and is currently working to identify and trace the individual responsible for the voice note.
Rohit Shetty’s residence attacked
Notably, this is not the first security scare involving Bollywood celebrities in recent days. Earlier this month, the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for a firing outside filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s residence in Mumbai’s Juhu area. According to reports, at least five rounds were fired at the first floor of Rohit Shetty’s nine-storey building at around 12:45 am. One bullet allegedly hit the glass facade of a gym.
So far, five people have been arrested in connection with the incident that took place on February 8. The gang has previously claimed responsibility for the multiple attacks on Kapil Sharma’s cafe in Canada. They have also issued multiple threats against Salman Khan.
Additionally, according to IANS, a threatening email was also sent to a close associate of Salman Khan. The message allegedly demanded crores of rupees from Salman`s associate and referenced connections to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Mumbai Police Crime Branch has initiated an investigation into the matter. The officials are currently tracking mobile locations of suspects near the homes of several celebrities. They have also stepped up vigilance across sensitive areas. However, no formal police complaint has been filed so far by Salman Khan or the concerned associate.
