Full audio of Bishnoi gang threat to Bollywood over Salman Khan links surfaces
Mumbai/Surrey (Canada): A chilling audio recording of Bishnoi gang member Harry Boxer has surfaced online, in which he explicitly threatens to gun down Bollywood filmmakers, actors, and producers working with Salman Khan, promising to unleash chaos in Mumbai. The revelation comes just hours after Kapil Sharma’s Kap’s Café in Surrey, Canada, was attacked for the second time in a month.
In the full audio, accessed by news outlets, Boxer identifies himself as a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang and claims responsibility for both the July 8 and August 7 shootings at Sharma’s café. He alleges Sharma was targeted for inviting Salman Khan to inaugurate his Netflix show.
“Main Harry Boxer, Lawrence Bishnoi gang se. Yeh joh Kapil Sharma pe pehle aur ab joh firing hui hai, yeh isliye hui hai kyunki isne Salman Khan ko udghatan mein bulaya tha Netflix ke show pe. Aur agli baar joh bhi director, producer, kalakaar… ab seedhe AK-47 hi chalegi inke chaatthi pe,” Boxer declares in the clip.
He goes on to warn the wider film industry: “Mumbai mein warning hai sabhi ko, chote mote kalakaaron, producers ko. Ab hum Mumbai ka mahaul itna kharab kar denge ki tum logon ne socha hi nahi hoga. Agar Salman Khan ke saath kisi ne bhi kaam kiya toh apni maut ka zimmedar khud hoga. Jai Shri Ram, Jai Balkari.”
Second attack in a month
The August 7 attack came exactly one month after the first shooting on July 8. CCTV footage from the latest incident shows an armed assailant firing multiple rounds outside the café, shattering windows with at least half a dozen bullet holes. No injuries were reported.
Reason and ongoing threats
According to the gang, the attacks were carried out after Sharma allegedly ignored their repeated calls. Boxer’s threats now extend beyond the comedian, targeting anyone in Bollywood, regardless of stature, who collaborates with Salman Khan.
Past feud with Salman Khan
Lawrence Bishnoi has maintained a long-standing enmity with Khan over the 1998 blackbuck poaching case and has issued multiple threats to the actor over the years.
No official statement from Kapil Sharma
While Canadian authorities investigate the shooting and Indian law enforcement monitors the situation, Sharma has yet to issue any public statement in response to the threats or the attacks.

Pak court grants bail to PM Shehbaz's daughter and her husband in graft case
Lahore (PTI): A Pakistani court on Tuesday granted bail to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's daughter Rabia Imran and her husband Imran Yousaf in a mega corruption and money laundering case.
Judge Ashfaq Ahmed allowed the bail petitions of the couple and restrained the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) from arresting them till May 7.
"The special court (central) Lahore granted interim pre-arrest bail to PM Shehbaz's daughter, Rabia Imran and her husband Imran Yousaf till May 7 in a mega corruption and money laundering case as the couple personally appeared before the court along with their counsel after arriving from the UK, where they had gone in 2022 to evade arrest," a court official said.
Last week, an accountability court had suspended the perpetual arrest warrants issued against the couple in the multi-billion corruption case, related to the Punjab Saaf Pani Company case.
The accountability court had issued perpetual warrants for their arrest in 2022 during the tenure of the Imran Khan government.
The PM's daughter and her husband had fled to the UK in 2022, and the court subsequently had declared them proclaimed offenders.
Interestingly, the country's anti-graft body -- National Accountability Bureau (NAB) -- that had instituted the multi-billion corruption case against the couple told the accountability court that it has no objection if the court suspends their warrants.
PM Shehbaz was also nominated in this corruption case but has been acquitted because of a lack of evidence.
Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party has consistently alleged that the acquittal of PM Shehbaz and other ruling coalition members in various mega corruption cases is the result of a "compromised judiciary" and a "NAB-PMLN nexus" (referring to a perceived alliance between the NAB and the military-backed government).
His party has claimed these acquittals represent the "demise of justice" and has accused the judiciary of acting as a "silent accomplice" to state-backed political terrorism.
Khan was ousted from power in April 2022 through a no-confidence motion. Subsequently, he was arrested in August 2023 and has been in jail in multiple cases since then.
