Days after a firing incident at filmmaker Rohit Shetty's home in Mumbai, Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh has received a threatening WhatsApp voice note demanding crores of rupees in ransom.
Mumbai Police have beefed up security outside the 40-year-old actor's home and are tracing the sender. Singh recently starred in the blockbuster film “Dhurandhar”.
On February 1, at least five rounds were fired at the first floor of Shetty's nine-storey building in Juhu area at 12.45 am. One bullet struck the glass of a gym inside the building, police said.

Five people have been arrested in connection with the incident, and police claimed the accused were following the instructions of Shubham Lonkar, an absconding member of Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
Lonkar is also wanted in the cases related to the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique and a firing outside actor Salman Khan's Bandra residence.
Lawrence Bishnoi's gang has also claimed responsibility in the past for multiple attacks on actor-comedian Kapil Sharma's cafe in Canada, while also issuing threats to actor Salman Khan. In one instance, a threat note was left at Bandra Bandstand, where Khan's father Salim Khan went for his daily walk.
