The man threatened to kill Mahesh or his family members if he fails to give money. We immediately contacted the Mumbai Police and they acted promptly in contacting UP Police. The UP Police also acted quickly and arrested the accused. The producer further said the Mumbai Police will investigate whether he was doing it alone or was acting at someone’s behalf. “Our security has been stepped up. We were already having security but now it has been doubled.” He further said the Bollywood celebrities become soft targets for the criminals.
