# Bollywood Under Siege: Aayush Sharma Joins Ranveer Singh in Receiving Chilling Bishnoi Gang Threats **Imagine checking your inbox only to find a death threat from a notorious gang**—that's the nightmare now hitting Bollywood stars, with Salman Khan's brother-in-law **Aayush Sharma** as the latest target just days after **Ranveer Singh**'s extortion scare.[1][2] This wave of intimidation has Bollywood on high alert. Aayush Sharma, married to Salman Khan's sister Arpita Khan, received a menacing email via Proton Mail on February 11 from someone claiming ties to the **Lawrence Bishnoi gang**. Mumbai Crime Branch confirmed the threat, noting the sender's attempt to hide their identity—much like the VPN-masked WhatsApp voice note sent to Ranveer, demanding around Rs 10 crore.[1][2][3] Security has been ramped up at Ranveer's Mumbai home with wife Deepika Padukone, as investigators probe links between the cases and the gang's recent activities.[2][4] The timing couldn't be more ominous. This follows a brazen firing incident outside filmmaker **Rohit Shetty**'s Juhu residence on January 31, where five rounds were fired and the gang later claimed responsibility via social media. Five accused, including those linked to a Pune-sourced vehicle, face MCOCA charges and further police custody until February 17.[1][4][5] Industry bodies are sounding the alarm too. The **Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE)** has urged an urgent meeting with Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis, citing a "growing climate of fear" amid threats to film, TV, and digital stars.[3][6] With digital trails being traced in both Aayush and Ranveer's cases, questions swirl: Is this a coordinated extortion spree targeting high-profile figures?
