A fresh controversy has once again put Bollywood under the spotlight after a viral voice note allegedly linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang surfaced online. The audio clip reportedly mentions actor Ranveer Singh and filmmaker Rohit Shetty, raising fresh security concerns. This marks the third Bishnoi-linked threat to Ranveer Singh in February 2026, following an initial extortion attempt and the firing incident outside Rohit Shetty’s residence earlier this month. Police officials are currently examining the authenticity and source of the latest viral clip. Authorities have not officially released the complete audio to the public. However, law enforcement has confirmed that the recording is under digital forensic review.
Viral Voice Note Linked to Bishnoi Gang: What the Audio Claims
A voice note that went viral on WhatsApp and social media allegedly features a person identifying himself as “Harry Boxer.” In the clip, he claims surveillance on Ranveer Singh’s managers and staff, warns that “we will start harassing those who work under you,” and says Singh’s next 7 generations will remember the consequences. The threat is reportedly linked to Singh advising Rohit Shetty to file a police complaint after the firing incident outside Shetty’s residence. The audio does not repeat any ransom demand. Mumbai Police have urged the public not to circulate the clip while verification is underway.
Ransom Demand Timeline: What Happened First?
To understand the situation clearly, it is important to separate the incidents.
Feb 9–10: Initial Extortion Attempt
A voice note was sent to Ranveer Singh’s manager demanding â‚ą1 crore. This was the first recorded extortion message in February 2026.
Feb 12–13: Viral “Harry Boxer” Clip
A separate viral audio clip emerged. This one escalates to staff threats and includes the “7 generations” warning. No ransom amount is repeated in this clip. Authorities are treating these as connected developments under the broader Bishnoi-linked threat pattern, but the content of the two recordings is different.
