Actor Tusshar Kapoor targeted with Rs 5 crore extortion threat

Bollywood actor Tusshar Kapoor received a threatening voice note demanding a payment of Rs 5 crore to ensure his safety. The sender claimed affiliation with gangster Hari Boxer, who is associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi network.

Following the threat, the actor alerted authorities and the case was transferred to the Mumbai Crime Branch and its anti-extortion cell. Law enforcement officials increased security measures around the actor as the investigation began.

Investigators used technical analysis to compare the audio sample of the threat with official voice records of Hari Boxer. Officials reported that the voices did not match, leading authorities to suspect an imposter leveraged the gang's name to generate panic and extort money.
