The alarming emails, allegedly originating from Pakistan, have raised serious concerns, prompting immediate action from the Mumbai Police.
The threatening email states, “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.” The message further urges recipients to treat the matter “with utmost seriousness and confidentiality.” The email is reportedly signed by an individual using the alias “Bishnu.”

Security cover will be provided to Kapil Sharma and his colleagues as a precautionary measure.
Timeline of the Threats in the Kapil Sharma Case
The chain of events began on December 14, 2024, when actor Rajpal Yadav received a chilling email from an ID named “Don.” The sender, claiming to be “Bishnu,” threatened to harm Kapil Sharma and his team, allegedly due to Salman Khan’s sponsorship of Kapil’s show. Radha Rajpal Yadav, wife of Rajpal Yadav filed a police complaint at the Amboli Police Station in Mumbai.
Following this, similar threats were sent to Remo D’Souza and Sugandha Mishra, further escalating concerns about the sender’s intentions. The pattern of emails has drawn attention to a potentially orchestrated campaign targeting prominent figures in the entertainment industry.
