Bollywood actor Tusshar Kapoor has allegedly received an extortion threat demanding ₹5 crore from a caller claiming to be Harry Boxer, a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The actor reportedly informed Mumbai Police, following which the investigation was handed over to the Anti-Extortion Cell and Crime Branch.
However, the preliminary investigation has raised doubts about the caller’s identity, with police suspecting that someone may have used the gang’s name to intimidate the actor.
Voice Sample Does Not Match
According to police sources, the Crime Branch’s technical team examined the audio recording of the threatening communication and compared the caller’s voice with official voice samples of Harry Boxer available in its database.
The preliminary analysis reportedly found no match between the two recordings. This has strengthened suspicions that the caller may have been impersonating the alleged gang member.
Police Tracing the Caller
Investigators are now working to identify the person who sent the threatening audio and determine whether the incident involved an individual acting alone or a larger organised network.
The case is being handled by the Anti-Extortion Cell and Mumbai Crime Branch. Reports citing police sources said that no FIR had been registered so far. The investigation is ongoing, and the caller’s alleged links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang have not been established.
