What the threat said
An officer told The Indian Express that Kapoor received a voice note in which the caller, claiming to be Hari Boxer, threatened him and demanded ₹5 crore in extortion “if he wanted to be safe”. The exact words are reported as a police account of the voice note, not as a verified recording.

Police response

Why police doubt the caller
Police officials said a preliminary voice comparison with previous threats attributed to Hari Boxer suggested the caller was not the gangster he claimed to be. ABP Live and Moneycontrol report the same finding: the Crime Branch's technical team found no match with official audio samples of Boxer.

The wider fear
The threat comes days after shots were fired at actor Tiger Shroff's residence in Mumbai's Juhu area. Police suspect someone may be trying to exploit the fear and panic following that firing. That suspicion is a police assessment, reported by The Indian Express and The Telegraph, not a proven motive.

Who Hari Boxer is said to be
Hari Boxer is reported to be Hari Chand Jaat, a Rajasthan-based former boxing coach from Jaipur who turned to crime. He has been booked in multiple cases of extorting businessmen, robbery and attempted murder in Rajasthan, Punjab and Delhi, and is suspected to be operating from the US.

The earlier pattern
In the past, Hari Boxer, described as a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, has been linked to threats against director Rohit Shetty and actor Ranveer Singh, after which FIRs were registered. In Kapoor's case, an officer noted, no one has claimed responsibility — unlike the gang's usual modus operandi.

What is not established
Nothing here is a decided outcome: the caller's identity has not been established, the gang link rests only on the caller's own claim, and police suspect the name may have been misused. The investigation continues. Tap below for more VisitBest web stories.
