According to sources, the demand was made through a voice note sent from a phone number registered in the United States. The Mumbai Police Crime Branch is said to be coordinating with concerned US law enforcement agencies to collect more information and trace the origin of the message. Times Now first reported that the voice in the threatening audio sent to Singh is believed to belong to Bishnoi’s close aide, Hari. Officials suspect that he used a VPN to transmit the threat and conceal his identity. Notably, this is not the first instance of Hari allegedly using a VPN to issue threats.

After the first message on February 10, a second threat was allegedly sent to Ranveer and Rohit. The caller, identifying himself as Hari, warned that their entire staff would be harmed if his demands were ignored. Though the exact reason behind the extortion remains unclear, he accused Ranveer of breaking a prior commitment and cautioned him to fall in line or face serious consequences.
Meanwhile, multiple arrests have been made regarding the firing incident at Rohit Shetty’s residence. The Anti-Extortion Cell (AEC) of the Crime Branch recently apprehended alleged shooter Deepak Chandra Sharma along with twelve other individuals involved in the case.
Reports reveal that the accused were promised a total of Rs 3 lakh by Shubham Lonkar, a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, with Rs 50,000 allegedly paid in advance.
