Chandigarh, January 23, 2025 (Punjab Khabarnama Bureau): Comedian Kapil Sharma and actor Rajpal Yadav have reportedly received death threats through an email.
The threatening message was sent to Rajpal Yadav’s email account from a person named ‘Bishnu’, who allegedly warned that Sharma, his family, his associates, and Rajpal Yadav would be killed.
The email, sent on December 14, 2024, raised concerns and led to a formal complaint.
The threatening message was sent from the email address don99284@gmail.com to Rajpal Yadav’s team email account, teamrajpalyadav@gmail.com.
This led to immediate action, with Yadav’s wife, Radha Rajpal Yadav, filing a police complaint at the Amboli Police Station in Mumbai.
The Amboli Police has registered the case under Section 351(3) of the Indian Penal Code, which deals with the threat of harm.
They are now conducting an investigation into the threat and the person behind the malicious email.
Meanwhile, choreographer and film director Remo D’Souza and actress and singer Sugandha Mishra have also received the same threat mail. Both of them have filed separate complaints at the police station.
As per the police, the threat email was sent from Pakistan.
The email reads, “We are monitoring your recent activities and we believe it is important that we bring to your attention a sensitive matter. This is not a publicity stunt or an attempt to harass you, we urge you to treat this message with utmost seriousness and confidentiality.”
The sender signed off as ‘BISHNU’.
Of late, Mumbai police have been on an increased level of vigilance as the law and order of the city seems to be shaken particularly after the fatal attack on politician Baba Siddique, threats to Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, and the recent knife attack on Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan.
Summary: Kapil Sharma, Rajpal Yadav, and two other celebrities have reportedly received death threats through email, raising concerns about their safety.
