February 3: Aayush Sharma gets threat
On February 3, Salman Khan’s brother-in-law and actor Aayush Sharma received a threat mail. The ransom was demanded in dollars. The news became public on February 11.
“Sharma’s case however seems to be a hoax as usually gangsters want to claim credit and this was sent from a mailing service which offers anonymity,” the source told The Indian Express.

A second, more direct threat was issued to Ranveer Singh and Rohit Shetty. The messages reflected the Bishnoi gang’s usual modus operandi, combining a social media screenshot with a matching audio clip, according to sources.

Chilling message
In a subsequent audio clip, the threat became more chilling. The audio clip, in which the caller claims to be Harry Boxer, said, “Ranveer Singh, we will deal with you in a way that your next seven generations will remember. You are very fond of giving people advice and telling them to file a police complaint. Fine. You too have filed a police complaint. No problem.”
The message further stated, “We have complete details of every manager and every person who works with you. Where they live. When they leave the office. When they return. Where their families stay. We will not tell you anything. We will start targeting the people working under you. Then you will come to your senses.”
The message also mentioned Rohit Shetty and warned Bollywood to “fall in line.”
