Ayushmann Khurrana Threat Audio Surfaces: Caller Who Invoked The Bishnoi Gang Is A Bengaluru IT Engineer, Say Police
Mumbai Police share the threat audio sent to Ayushmann Khurrana in the Bishnoi gang’s name. A Bengaluru IT engineer was arrested, with no confirmed gang link.
An audio message sent to actor Ayushmann Khurrana has surfaced after Mumbai Police shared it. In it, the speaker identifies himself as “Anil Pandit” and claims to be a younger brother of Lawrence Bishnoi. He says he tried to reach the actor, pressed him to call back to “talk,” and invokes the earlier attack on Tiger Shroff as a warning of what could happen. He also claims to know the actor’s whereabouts and warns that police protection will not last. We are not reproducing the full threat here.
Who Is The Accused?
The Mumbai Crime Branch arrested Vaibhav Chandra Mishra, 30, following a technical investigation. Police say he was sending threatening audio messages and emails in the Bishnoi gang’s name while pretending to be a member. He has been booked under Section 308 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for extortion. Police are also reportedly examining voice samples, device data and the possibility of any real gang connection. The accused is yet to be tried, and these are police claims. Ayushmann Khurrana Threat Case: Bengaluru Techie Arrested - Dainik Jagran English +2
A Wider Pattern
Tusshar Kapoor reportedly received a similar message demanding ₹5 crore, from a sender who claimed to be “Harry Boxxer” of the Bishnoi gang. Preliminary investigation suggested the audio messages might be fake. The timing is notable. The Tiger Shroff firing case, in which police allege a Bishnoi-linked network was involved, appears to have made the gang’s name a tool for opportunistic intimidation. freepressjournalfreepressjournal
