Bollywood Actors Tusshar Kapoor and Ayushmann Khurrana Receive Extortion Threats Linked to Lawrence Bishnoi GangPreviousNext

Bollywood actors Tusshar Kapoor and Ayushmann Khurrana have received threatening audio messages from individuals claiming links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, demanding crores of rupees. Mumbai Police are investigating both cases, analyzing voice samples to verify the senders' identities. Preliminary findings suggest Tusshar Kapoor's threat may be a hoax, while investigations into Ayushmann Khurrana's threat are ongoing. These incidents follow a recent firing attack on actor Tiger Shroff, attributed to the same gang, raising security concerns in the film industry.
