MUMBAI: Bollywood actor Tusshar Kapoor allegedly received an extortion call demanding Rs 5 crore from a person claiming to be Harry Boxer, a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
However, a preliminary investigation by the Mumbai Crime Branch has ruled out the involvement of Bishnoi gang members in the threat call.
Tusshar has informally alerted the
Mumbai Police about the threat, following which his security has been beefed up. The investigation has been handed over to the Crime Branch and its Anti-Extortion Cell.
According to police sources, the Crime Branch’s technical team examined the audio recording of the threatening call and compared the sender’s voice with official audio samples of Harry Boxer available in its database.
The analysis reportedly found no match between the two recordings.
Police suspect that an unidentified person may have impersonated a Bishnoi gang member and used the gang’s name to intimidate the actor and extort money.
No First Information Report (FIR) has been registered so far, as the police are continuing their investigation to establish the origin of the audio recording and identify the caller.
