Actor Rajpal Yadav has addressed the alarming reports regarding death threats targeting him and other prominent celebrities, including comedian Kapil Sharma, choreographer Remo D’Souza, and actor-singer Sugandha Mishra. The threats, allegedly originating from Pakistan, have prompted a serious investigation, and an FIR has been lodged at Mumbai’s Amboli Police Station.
In a recent statement, Yadav confirmed that he had informed the authorities about the threats, including the cyber crime department and the police. He refrained from discussing the issue further, expressing his focus on his work as an entertainer.
“I have informed both the cybercrime department and the police, and after that, I haven’t spoken to anyone. It’s not my job to talk about this incident when I don’t know anything about it. I am an actor, and in acting, I try to entertain people of all ages, young and old, through my work. I don’t want to say anything more than this. Whatever needs to be said about this matter, the agencies are capable of providing the information. I have shared the details I was aware of,” he said.
The disturbing death threat came through an email, allegedly from a person named ‘Bishnu,’ who warned the recipients to take the message seriously. The email, received by Rajpal Yadav on December 14, 2024, contained threats against Kapil Sharma and his team, specifically mentioning that their show was being sponsored by Bollywood actor Salman Khan. The email further warned of potential consequences, urging the recipients to respond promptly or face severe repercussions.
The complaint, filed by Yadav’s wife, Radha Rajpal Yadav, led to an investigation by the Amboli Police. Authorities have taken immediate action, registering a case under section 351 (3) of the Indian Penal Code, which pertains to threats of harm. The police are actively working on tracing the source of the email, which was traced to an IP address in Pakistan. The Amboli police are now seeking the government’s assistance to communicate with Pakistan for further investigation.
In response to the threat, security measures have been increased for Kapil Sharma and his team, ensuring their safety amidst the growing concerns. The authorities are closely monitoring the situation and are committed to taking all necessary steps to address the threat.
