Bollywood icon Ranveer Singh and director Rohit Shetty are subjected to enhanced police protection following scrutiny about a threatening voice note traced back to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The public attention flocked to the message, a call that has raised concerns about the safety of celebrities and the rise of organized crime in India.
According to news, the voice note was exchanged with a voice by a caller calling himself Hari Boxer. And in the recording, he threatened that if demands were not fulfilled that the “entire staff” of Ranveer Singh and Rohit Shetty would be harmed. The caller also threatened that “the next seven generations will remember the consequences.” This disturbing message has been heeded by authorities, particularly after a firing incident outside Rohit Shetty’s residence.
Mumbai Police and the Crime Branch immediately opened an investigation. Digital forensic teams are analyzing voice patterns, metadata, path of the audio and other information to check its sound record for authenticity and source of origin--they say. These agents are also exploring whether the threat has any real connection with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, known for its past intimidation of public figures. Officials have confirmed serious legal action will be taken against those responsible if caught.
Ranveer Singh and Rohit Shetty have faced increased security. Police departments are watching their homes, offices and public appearance. More people have been placed on duty as well for safety and authorities said any organized crime threats will be met with law enforcement. The incident has also heightened calls have been made to stop this trend, and it's been argued for increased protections of celebrities who will be at greater risk from mafia-affiliated groups.
Its news has raised alarm among fans and the movie industry. It shocked many that these threats kept surfacing against Bollywood stars. Social media users discussed the increasing presence of gangs and why it is so important to save artists serving the development of India’s cultural identity.
So on the other end of a similar message comes the perceived threat against Ranveer Singh and Rohit Shetty underlining the challenges of dealing with organized crime in India. Although police have bolstered security and investigations, the incident should serve as a reminder that celebrities are still vulnerable to threats of intimidation. And without having those threats held to account, swift legal intervention and proper protection, however, are critical in addressing the danger of such threats before they can interrupt public order and entertainment.
