Tusshar Kapoor Receives Rs 5 Crore Extortion Threat; Police Suspect Impersonation
Bollywood actor Tusshar Kapoor received a threatening call demanding Rs 5 crore from someone claiming to be Harry Boxer, a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Mumbai Police's Crime Branch analyzed the call's audio and found no match with official voice samples of Boxer, leading to suspicions of impersonation. The Anti-Extortion Cell is investigating the source of the call, which may be a hoax using the gang's name to intimidate Kapoor. No FIR has been registered yet.
