Saurabh joshi death threat: One of the most famous YouTubers of the country, Saurabh Joshi, is once again in the headlines. This time the reason is not a new video of him, but a threat to kill him by a criminal gang. ‘Bhau Gang’ has sought extortion of Rs 5 crore from Saurabh Joshi and threatened that it will have ‘serious consequences’ if this amount is not given. Joshi immediately lodged a complaint with the Haldwani police. The incident has once again raised questions on the security of social media influencers.
Threats and police action through ’email’
According to the complaint, Saurabh Joshi has received this threat through an email. This email has clearly demanded Rs 5 crore and threatened to kill him if not given. Given the seriousness of the case, Haldwani SP City Prakash Chandra has said that the police is taking the matter very seriously. A team of cyber experts is busy finding the source of email to reach this dangerous gang.
Who is this ‘dreaded’ Bhau gang?
If you are wondering who is this Bhau gang, then know that it is a notorious criminal gang, which is operated by the gangster Himanshu Bhau of Delhi. This gang is not only notorious for its criminal activities, but also known for openly threatening on social media. According to media reports, Himanshu Bhau and his gang gangster Lawrence Bishnoi gang are considered to be a known enemy. There have often been reports of gang war between these two gangs, which proves even more dangerous.
Threat has been received earlier also
This is not the first time Saurabh Joshi has received such a threat. Earlier, he was also threatened in November 2024. At that time, a letter of Rs 2 crore was sought from him through a letter claiming to be a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The letter was threatened that Saurabh Joshi and his family members would be killed if the money was not given within five days. The Bhau Gang had earlier taken responsibility for firing at the house of Famous YouTuber Elvish Yadav. Through a post on social media, this gang openly admitted to carrying out the incident.
These constant threats have proved that YouTuber and social media influencers are now targeted by gangsters. This is not just a profession for them, but also a dangerous risk. It remains to be seen what steps the police take in this case and whether Saurabh Joshi gets security from these dreaded gangs.
