India’s Underworld Threatens Top Social Media Stars: Saurabh Joshi Faces ₹5 Crore Extortion and [email protected] Threat

In a shocking turn of events, India’s underworld has become increasingly active, targeting celebrities and social media stars with threats and attacks. The latest victim is Saurabh Joshi, the country’s number one YouTuber and social media sensation, who has reportedly received a death threat along with a demand for ₹5 crore in extortion.

Saurabh Joshi, just 26 years old, has risen from humble beginnings as the son of a laborer to become a household name with millions of fans across India. His meteoric rise has even caught the attention of Bollywood stars, many of whom are eager to collaborate with him. Saurabh’s brand is now worth hundreds of crores, making him a prime target for criminal gangs seeking quick money.

Recently, Saurabh received a threatening email from an individual claiming to be a member of the notorious “Bhau Gang.” The sender demanded ₹5 crore and threatened to shoot Saurabh if the money was not paid. According to Saurabh, the email was sent via Gmail and mentioned a person known as “Chota Down,” a reputed gangster based in Delhi.

The police have registered a case and launched an investigation following Saurabh’s complaint. He has also requested police protection, highlighting the seriousness of the threat. This isn’t the first time Saurabh has faced such danger; in November 2024, one of his fans, Arun Kumar, delivered a threatening letter in the name of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The police acted swiftly and arrested the culprit within 24 hours, revealing that the threat was motivated by greed rather than actual gang involvement.

The wave of threats isn’t limited to Saurabh Joshi. Recently, actress Disha Patani’s house was attacked by gunmen, who were later neutralized in a police encounter in Uttar Pradesh. Similarly, social media influencer Elvish Yadav’s home was attacked by criminals, who faced a similar fate at the hands of Haryana police.

These incidents have raised serious concerns about the safety of public figures in India, especially those with massive online followings. As the police continue their investigations, fans and fellow creators hope for swift action and increased security to protect their favorite stars from the growing menace of the underworld.
