Delhi(The COW News Digital) Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh has reportedly become the latest target of the notorious Bhushan Gang, which has threatened his life and demanded an extortion payment of ₹10 crore, according to Indian media reports. The threat comes shortly after Ranveer’s recent film success, raising concerns over the safety of celebrities from criminal networks.
Authorities revealed that the threat was conveyed through a voice note sent to Ranveer Singh’s manager from a U.S.-based number. Police sources suggest that the voice may belong to a dangerous gang operative known as Harry Boxer. The Mumbai Crime Branch has initiated a preliminary investigation and is coordinating with U.S. agencies to trace the origin of the call.
The Bhushan Gang has a history of targeting high-profile personalities. In recent months, they were linked to the killing of Punjab singer Sidhu Moosewala, who was shot in broad daylight. They have also previously attacked the residence of filmmaker Rohit Shetty and attempted assaults on Salman Khan and Kapil Sharma’s restaurant. These incidents have heightened fears among celebrities and the entertainment industry about personal security risks.
