Mumbai Police Enhance Security for Bollywood Celebrities Following Disturbing Death Threats from Pakistan
In the wake of alarming death threats directed at Kapil Sharma, Rajpal Yadav, Remo D’Souza, and Sugandha Mishra, the Mumbai police have ramped up security measures for these high-profile stars. The threats, issued via emails under the alias ‘Bishnu,’ primarily targeted Sharma, attributed to his association with the popular Comedy Nights with Kapil show and its sponsorship by Salman Khan.
The initial report came from Rajpal Yadav, who alerted authorities to an email warning of potential harm. His wife, Radha Rajpal Yadav, subsequently lodged a complaint at Amboli Police Station, leading to an official case registered under Section 351(3) of the Indian Penal Code, concerning threats of harm. As the investigation unfolded, police traced the threatening IP address to Pakistan and have sought assistance from the Indian government to engage with Pakistani authorities.
In response to the serious nature of these threats, the police have implemented increased personal security for Kapil Sharma and his team, including patrols near their homes and workplaces. This action underscores the growing concern within the entertainment industry regarding online threats and cybercrime, particularly given the cross-border origins of this incident. Fans and the public are rallying behind the celebrities, hoping for a swift resolution and enhanced safety.
