Mumbai Mirror | Oct 27, 2013, 02.48 AM IST
Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has received death threats over the phone from a man, who claims to be fugitive gangster Ravi Pujari, police said on Saturday.
"The caller recently threatened Akshay and talked about a domestic help, who was sacked by the actor a few days ago," said a crime branch officer. Police suspect that it was just a prank call.
"Prima facie it appears that it was a prank call," the officer said adding that the investigation was on. Introducing himself as gangster Ravi Pujari, the caller threatened the actor, saying he made a mistake by removing his domestic help, the officer added. The 46-year-old actor sacked his domestic help for some undisclosed reasons.
Despite repeated calls, Akshay's manager was unavailable for comments. Meanwhile, Mumbai Police Chief Satyapal Singh plans to convey a meeting with Bollywood fraternity to instill confidence among them, in the backdrop of the alleged underworld calls.
