Prior to this, actor Tusshar Kapoor also reportedly received a threatening audio message, in which the sender claimed to be Harry Boxxer, a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. He had demanded Rs 5 crore from the Golmaal actor. However, the preliminary investigation suggested that the audio might be fake.

A representative of the group, Anil Pandit, dropped a social media post saying that they will not spare anyone who choses to work in close proximity with actor Salman Khan.
He even released an audio clip asking Salman to apologize.
“Listen to me carefully Salman Khan. If you don’t apologize to my elder brother, Lawrence Bishnoi, or to the Bishnoi community, then we won’t even leave a dog in your house. We will destroy your entire family. Keep this in mind. Don’t think that you are in security and nothing will happen to you.” he said in the clip.
