In recent times, several Bollywood celebrities have been receiving threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The rising trend is worrying and deeply unsettling for the industry. After firing outside Rohit Shetty’s house, Ranveer Singh received a Rs 10 crore extortion threat via a voice message. The message was sent to the actor’s manager from an international number and is suspected to be from gangster Harry Boxer, a close aide of the Bishnoi gang. Now, a Look Out Circular has been issued against him.
Look Out Circular issued against Bishnoi gang member
In a major development in the ongoing probe into threats targeting Bollywood personalities, the Mumbai Crime Branch has issued a Look Out Circular (LOC) against Harichandra, alias Harry Boxer, a suspected member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, in connection with an extortion threat made to actor Ranveer Singh. Police had sent the threatening voice note received by Ranveer Singh`s manager to Punjab and Haryana for verification. The sender of the voice note identified himself as Harry Boxer and demanded a ransom of Rs 20 crore.
The Mumbai Police have recorded the statement of the Dhurandhar actor’s manager as part of the investigation. In the meantime, security around Ranveer Singh has been tightened as a precautionary measure. Sources confirmed that additional protection has been arranged at his residence and during public appearances.
The actor has not issued any public statement regarding the incident so far. Authorities have assured that all necessary steps are being taken to ensure Ranveer’s safety and to identify those responsible for issuing the alleged threat.
About the firing outside Rohit Shetty’s house
Authorities earlier confirmed a series of high-profile threats targeting actors Ranveer Singh and Aayush Sharma, with investigators suspecting links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
The developments come amid a broader probe into the January 31, 2026, firing incident outside filmmaker Rohit Shetty`s residence in Juhu. Police believe the threats may be part of a coordinated intimidation campaign targeting prominent figures in the film industry. The Bishnoi gang had previously claimed responsibility for the firing through a social media post, officials said.
On February 17, five accused arrested in the Rohit Shetty firing case were produced before the MCOCA court after their police custody expired. The court remanded all five to police custody until February 23. Further inquiries are underway.
