Mumbai, February 11 Salman Khan's brother-in-law, Aayush Sharma, allegedly received a threatening email, police said on Wednesday, a day after actor Ranveer Singh received a threat via WhatsApp. The sender of the email to Sharma, who is also an actor, claimed to be a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, they said, without providing further details. Although there was no formal complaint, the Mumbai police have launched an investigation into the threatening email sent to Sharma, an official said. Crime branch officials are verifying whether the email was genuine or someone was attempting to cause mischief, he said. The email comes shortly after actor Ranveer Singh received a threatening voice note via WhatsApp from unidentified individuals. Police suspect that members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang may be behind the threat made to Ranveer, allegedly for the purpose of extortion, an official said on Tuesday. Last week, an unidentified shooter fired five shots at the residence of filmmaker Rohit Shetty in Mumbai's Juhu area.
