Kapil Sharma latest celebrity to get email with death threat, warning of secrecy
Mumbai Police file FIR, probe case
New Delhi: Stand-up comedian and television show host Kapil Sharma is the latest among the Indian celebrities who received email carrying death threat and warning not to divulge the matter.
Amboli Police have registered an FIR against an unknown person under section 351(3) of BNS. The police, who have started the investigation, suspect the email to have been sent from Pakistan.
Sharma has been informed in the email that his recent activities were being watched and the sender called it a sensitive issue. Claiming ‘not to be a publicity stunt’ or an attempt to harass the artiste, the sender has directed Sharma to treat the mail with seriousness and confidentiality.
In addition, the sender has signed off with the name ‘Bishnu’.
Rajpal Yadav, Sugandha Mishra and Remo D’Souza had also filed police complaints recently that they were sent similar threats online. The senders gave the celebrities eight hours to reply, warning that they would have to face consequences in their personal lives as well as professional. The Mumbai Police were dealing with the cases with extreme urgency given the fact that one celebrity after another is being targeted.
It may also be noted that that Indian film star Saif Ali Khan was stabbed multiple times by an intruder who entered his house in Mumbai while Salman Khan has beefed up the security system at home and is learned to have installed bullet-proof windows on his balcony after receiving threat messages.

Ex-minister Ramanath Rai hits out at BJP leader Ashoka for ‘irresponsible’ comments on KC Venugopal
Mangaluru: Congress leader and former minister B Ramanath Rai slammed BJP leader R Ashoka for calling AICC General Secretary KC Venugopal an agent of the party high command, and asked if the general secretary and other office-bearers in the BJP were commission agents too.
Rai, who addressed a press meet at the Congress office in the city on Friday, expressed fury over the recent comments of the BJP leader that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was presenting himself in a shameless manner in public life. Ashoka, who is also Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly, had said that the Congress government had ‘broken every previous record on corruption-related controversies’.
“Ashoka has spoken with sheer ignorance and displays his lack of maturity, as he often does while facing the media. KC Venugopal has been working at organization of the party and it is unbecoming of Ashoka to criticize Venugopal as he did,” Rai told reporters.
“Being in a responsible position, how acceptable is it for Ashoka to pass disrespectful, random comments about another leader who also holds a responsible position? If KC Venugopal is indeed an agent of the party high command, what should we consider BJP leaders to be? Are they brokers?” he asked
Commenting on Ashoka’s allegations of corruption in the Congress government in Karnataka, Rai pointed out, “The KSRTC land was sold to private parties when he (Ashoka) was transport minister. We can find several such cases across the state, which need to be probed.”
The former minister, however, refused to comment on the incident that occurred at Mangaluru airport during CM Siddaramaiah’s visit to the city recently.
Former mayors Ashraf and Shashidhar Hegde, Congress activists Vishwas Kumar Das, Subhodaya Alva, Shabeer, Baby Kundar, Padmanabha, Nazeer Bajal and Prem were present.
