Senior police sources have made new revelations in the case of firing at the house of famous Bollywood film maker Rohit Shetty and the case of threat to Ranveer Singh. According to senior sources of Mumbai Police, after the arrest of Lawrence Bishnoi and Anmol Bishnoi, the gang has become very weak. Apart from the attack on Rohit Shetty’s house, it has not been confirmed that any other big celebrity has recently received a formal threat from the Bishnoi gang.
However, questions still remain over the alleged threat received by Ranveer Singh and the authenticity of the threat message sent to him. Police believe that copycat criminals are trying to create an atmosphere of fear by using the name of Bishnoi gang, and Mumbai Police is keeping an eye on such people.
Fear in the name of Bishnoi gang
According to sources, after the arrest of Bishnoi brothers, the activities of the gang have weakened and some people are misusing their name. Names like Shubham Lonkar or Arju Bishnoi have come up, whom the police are considering as the weak link. There is a fear that in some parts of the country, the names of Lawrence and Anmol Bishnoi are being used only to create fear.
Search continues for Shubham Lonkar
After the attack on Rohit Shetty’s house, the claim of responsibility was revealed through a Facebook post using the name of Shubham Lonkar and the photograph of Lawrence Bishnoi. However, the police believe that this gang is doing such activities to maintain its dominance. The search for the shooters who opened fire has been intensified. Even if the accused have destroyed their electronic devices or used equipment, the police are confident that arrests will be made soon. In this case, the search for Shubham Lonkar is also going on with the help of other agencies.
Ranveer Singh did not receive any threat from Vishnoi gang
According to police sources, investigation is going on whether any gang is involved in the threatening message received by Ranveer Singh’s manager. At present it has not been confirmed whether the voice note sent is related to Bishnoi gang. The possibility of registering a new FIR in this case is also said to be low. The police have termed the letter written by the managing committee of Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone’s society as an internal matter and have refused to interfere in it.
copycat criminals active
Giving the example of the 90s, a senior police officer said that copycat criminals have been active in the past also by showing fear in the name of Dawood or other big gangsters. Similarly, there is a suspicion that the voice message sent to Ranveer Singh may have also been sent by a copycat criminal through means like VPN and Proton Mail. In such cases, it is challenging to prove the authenticity of the message.
investigation is ongoing
A senior Mumbai Police officer has clarified that apart from the Rohit Shetty case, no other big celebrity has filed a formal complaint regarding threats in recent times. Some other names related to the film industry, including Ayush Sharma’s name, are in discussion on social media. However, this is not a new case, but an old case, which has already been investigated.
