Four prominent Bollywood celebrities, including actor and comedian Kapil Sharma, actor Rajpal Yadav, choreographer Remo D’Souza, and actor-singer Sugandha Mishra have allegedly gotten death threats from Pakistan. An FIR has been filed in Mumbai, and the police is looking into the matter.
The email carrying the death threat states, “We are monitoring your recent activities and we believe it is important that we bring to your attention a sensitive matter. This is not a publicity stunt or an attempt to harass you, we urge you to treat this message with utmost seriousness and confidentiality.” The email has been signed off by the sender under the name ‘BISHNU.’
On December 14, 2024, Rajpal Yadav received an email ID Don from a man calling himself Bishnu, threatening to kill Kapil Sharma and his team as his show is being sponsored by Salman Khan. This led to immediate action, with Yadav’s wife, Radha Rajpal Yadav, filing a police complaint at the Amboli Police Station in Mumbai.
A case under section 351 (3) of Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita, which deals with the threat of harm, has been registered at the Amboli police station in Mumbai. Security will be provided to Kapil Sharma and his team. The Amboli police have traced the IP address to Pakistan and are seeking help from the government to correspond with Pakistan. The recepient has been asked to reply within eight hours otherwise they’d face consequences on the personal and professional front.
It has also been reported that the people who threatened Rajpal Yadav and Kapil Sharma introduced themselves as members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Further photos of murdered singer Sidhu Moosewala and slain politician Baba Siddiqui were also attached with the mail, the top cop said.
“Rajpal Yadav has been asked to give a death message to Kapil Sharma that his movements are being monitored. The FIR has been registered, and we are investigating the case,” Senior Police Inspector, Amboli Police Station Sadashiv Nikam was quoted as saying.
