'These gangsters want to once again spread terror across the film industry, just as they had done in 1999-2000.'
The audio clip circulated on various social media platforms following which Mumbai Police launched a probe, an official said, adding that it is suspected that similar threats were issued to many others across the country.
Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh and filmmaker Rohit Shetty have reportedly received threats via an audio clip, allegedly from a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Mumbai Police have launched an investigation into the threats, which follow a previous threat to Singh and a shooting incident at Shetty's residence.
The crime branch had arrested Aditya Gayaki (19), Siddharth Yenpure (20), Samarth Pomaji (18), Swapnil Sakat (23) and Asaram Fasale, who had allegedly provided a scooter and other logistic support and weapons to the shooter, the official said.
Mumbai Police have arrested a fifth person in connection with the firing at filmmaker Rohit Shetty's residence, suspecting a link to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang through an absconding member, Shubham Lonkar.
Heavy security was deployed outside the building and the forensic science team also reached the spot to collect evidence, the official said.
'I feel this initiative will help makers like me to tell a lot of stories. I feel very sorry that it's happening so late. If it had happened 10 years ago, I would have told 10 or 12 more stories.'
