Just days after an initial extortion attempt of ₹10 Crore, a fresh voice note has surfaced, allegedly from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which explicitly threatens to target the actor's staff and their families if he does not "fall in line."
The chilling audio, reportedly sent by a gang operative named Harry Boxer, warns that the gang has detailed information on the daily movements of Ranveer’s managers and employees.
Here is the breakdown of this terrifying escalation.
The Threat: "We Will Wipe Out Your Staff" 🎧
The Source: The threat came via a voice note from a man identifying himself as Harry Boxer, a known operative of the Bishnoi syndicate.
The Content: Unlike the previous demand for money, this message was a direct warning against seeking police help. The sender reportedly said:
"Ranveer Singh, tu kuch baat bolke mukhar gaya na? (You went back on your word, right?)... We won't say anything to you directly. We will start targeting the people who work under you. We will kill your entire staff."
The Specifics: The voice note claimed the gang has "all the details"—including where his managers live, their office timings, and where their families reside.
The Context: "Punishment" for Going to Police 👮♂️
The Trigger: The gang appears furious that Ranveer and Rohit Shetty approached the Mumbai Police after the initial threats and the firing incident outside Shetty’s home.
The Warning: The message mocked their security measures, stating that "going to the police station" won't save them or their team. It also referenced a recent shooting in Portugal, claiming responsibility for it to demonstrate their global reach.
Police Investigation: Is It AI? 🕵️♂️
Verification: The Mumbai Crime Branch is currently verifying the audio clip to rule out AI generation, though early probes suggest the voice might be genuine.
Tracking: The call was routed through a VPN (Virtual Private Network), making it difficult to trace the exact location of the sender, who is believed to be operating from abroad.
Security: Security for Ranveer’s staff and key team members is reportedly being reviewed following this specific threat.
SantaBanta Verdict:
This is a new low even for the underworld. Targeting innocent staff members—drivers, managers, and assistants—just to get to a star is a cowardly tactic that changes the rules of engagement. Ranveer Singh isn't just protecting himself anymore; he is now responsible for the lives of everyone who works for him.
