Here is the breakdown of the developing story that has put the Khan family and the industry on high alert today.
The Threat: "Proton Mail & A Gang Claim" 📧
The Incident: Reports confirmed yesterday (Wednesday, Feb 11) that Aayush Sharma received a threatening email sent via Proton Mail (an encrypted email service often used to mask identity).
The Content: While the exact text hasn't been released, police sources reveal the sender explicitly claimed affiliation with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
The Context: Aayush is married to Salman Khan’s sister, Arpita Khan Sharma. Given the Bishnoi gang's long-standing vendetta against Salman Khan (including previous firing incidents at his home), this threat is being viewed as a direct message to the superstar's family.
Police Action: "Verification Underway" 👮♂️
No FIR Yet: As of now, no formal FIR has been registered, but the Mumbai Police have initiated a preliminary probe.
The Investigation: The Crime Branch is currently verifying the authenticity of the email to determine if it is a genuine threat from the gang or a prankster playing "mischief."
Cyber experts are tracking the digital footprint of the Proton Mail account to locate the sender.
A Pattern of Fear: The "Bollywood Hit-List" 📉
This incident is part of a chilling sequence of events terrorizing Bollywood in February 2026:
Rohit Shetty: Last week, shots were fired outside the filmmaker's Juhu residence.
Ranveer Singh: Earlier this week, the actor received a WhatsApp voice note demanding crores in extortion.
Aayush Sharma: Now, the threat has moved to Salman Khan's immediate family.
SantaBanta Verdict: The use of encrypted mail services suggests a level of sophistication that worries authorities. This isn't just about one actor anymore; it appears to be a systematic siege on Bollywood's biggest names. For Aayush Sharma, the "Bhai" connection has always been a blessing, but today, it has unfortunately placed him in the crosshairs of his brother-in-law's enemies.
