“This is not a publicity stunt…”: Kapil Sharma, Rajpal Yadav, Remo D'Souza get death threats

Comedian Kapil Sharma, actor Rajpal Yadav, choreographer Remo D'Souza, and actor-singer Sugandha Mishra have received death threats via e-mail from Pakistan. An FIR has been registered in Mumbai, and the police are looking into the matter.

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 email has been signed off as ‘BISHNU.’

The recipient has been asked to reply within eight hours otherwise they'd face consequences on the personal and professional front.

On 14 December 2024, Rajpal Yadav got an email from someone named Bishnu, threatening to kill Kapil Sharma and his team as his show is backed by Salman Khan. This led to immediate action, with Yadav's wife, Radha Rajpal Yadav, filing a police complaint at the Amboli Police Station in Mumbai.

A case under section 351 (3) of Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita, which deals with the threat of harm, has been registered at the Amboli police station in Mumbai. Security will be provided to Kapil Sharma and his team.

The Amboli police have traced the IP address to Pakistan and are seeking help from the government to correspond with Pakistan.
