Face Lawrence

Is the glitter of Bollywood finally being eclipsed by the cold steel of a gangland vendetta? In a week that has shaken the foundations of the Indian film industry, the Mumbai Crime Branch is racing against time to intercept a series of coordinated extortion attempts.

From the quiet suburbs of Juhu to the high-security enclaves of Bandra, the message is chillingly uniform: pay up or face the wrath of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

This isn’t just a plot from a gritty crime thriller; it is a high-stakes reality for Salman Khan, Ranveer Singh, and Rohit Shetty.

The tension reached a fever pitch on Tuesday, February 10, when Ranveer Singh, currently riding the success of Dhurandhar, received a WhatsApp voice note demanding a ransom of several crores.

Almost simultaneously, a close associate of Salman Khan was blindsided by a threatening email mirroring the same financial demands. While Mumbai Police have fortified the actors’ residences with extra boots on the ground, a troubling pattern has emerged.

Many targets are hesitating to file formal complaints, choosing instead to navigate the shadows of informal negotiations or silent endurance.

At the heart of this storm lies a 26-year-old grudge. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang’s fixation on Salman Khan traces back to the 1998 hunting of a blackbuck—an animal revered as sacred by the Bishnoi community.

What began as a demand for a religious apology has mutated into a sprawling extortion network.

The recent gunshots fired at Rohit Shetty’s residence on February 1 served as a violent “proof of concept” for the gang, proving they are no longer content with just digital messages. They are now using kinetic force to prove their presence.

Key Investigation Points:

• Digital Footprints: Police are tracing the origin of the voice notes and emails, many of which appear to bypass standard surveillance.
• The Rohit Shetty Link: The social media post claiming credit for the Juhu firing is being used as a baseline to link the other threats.
• Vigilance Mapping: Mobile towers near celebrity homes are being monitored for “anomalous pings” that might indicate reconnaissance by gang members.

While the police maintain that the situation is under control, the silence of the victims speaks volumes. The Mumbai film industry is currently caught in a pincer movement between the law and the underworld.

For icons like Salman Khan and Ranveer Singh, the price of fame has never been higher, and the “Big Sunday” clashes they are used to in cinemas have been replaced by a deadly weekday reality on the streets of Mumbai.
