According to Indian media reports, Singh, who lives in Mumbai with his wife and actress Deepika Padukone, wasted no time in alerting the police. Acting with urgency, Mumbai Police deployed additional personnel outside the actor’s residence. Private security guards have also been stationed at the premises, turning the once quiet residential entrance into a closely monitored zone.
Cyber and technical teams are now working around the clock to trace the origin of the voice message. Officials say they are leaving no stone unturned in identifying the source and verifying the credibility of the threat.
The sudden surge in security has caused unease among other residents of the housing society. The presence of armed officers in a shared residential space has raised eyebrows, with some residents questioning the need for such an extensive deployment. Society management has reportedly sought clarification from authorities regarding the extraordinary measures.
This alarming development comes just days after filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s residence in Mumbai’s Juhu area was targeted in a late night firing incident. Unidentified assailants reportedly fired at least five rounds at the building, with one bullet striking the glass of a gym on the first floor of the nine-storey structure. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
The Lawrence Bishnoi gang later claimed responsibility for the attack on social media, and an alleged gangster, Arjun Bishnoi, also took credit through an audio message. Pune Police have since detained five individuals in connection with the case.
Investigators are now exploring whether the threat to Ranveer Singh and the firing incident at Rohit Shetty’s home are part of a broader pattern or merely separate acts intended to spread fear.
The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has long been linked to high-profile crimes and threats against celebrities. The group has been accused in connection with the murder of singer Sidhu Moose Wala, attacks involving political figure Baba Siddique, firing outside actor Salman Khan’s residence, and other serious offences.
Police officials have assured that a thorough probe is underway. ‘Every angle is being examined carefully,’ a senior officer stated, emphasizing that all available resources are being utilized to bring those responsible to justice.
As investigations continue, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the growing security challenges faced by public figures in an age where digital platforms can quickly become tools of intimidation.
