近期,一系列针对宝莱坞知名人士的袭击事件引发关注,警方及媒体指认幕后主使为自2014年起入狱的黑帮头目劳伦斯·比什诺伊(Lawrence Bishnoi) 1。10月早些时候,演员泰格·施罗夫在孟买遭遇枪击,其司机受伤;随后流传的音频警告称,不与萨尔曼·汗合作或不配合者将被杀害 1。
这并非孤立个案。自2022年以来,发生了多起针对萨尔曼·汗公寓、导演罗希特·谢蒂住所及迪莎·帕塔尼家人住宅的枪击案 1。此外,加拿大萨里市喜剧演员卡皮尔·夏玛(Kapil Sharma)的咖啡馆也遭到三次袭击 1。演员兰维尔·辛格还收到了约110万美元(约合98万欧元)的勒索要求 1。嫌疑人被认为与比什诺伊有关联,后者被指控通过隐藏手机和消息应用从监狱指挥行动 1。
文章对比了当前威胁与20世纪90年代孟买黑帮对电影业控制的区别。历史数据显示,1997年音乐大亨古尔尚·库马尔(Gulshan Kumar)遇刺身亡,2000年导演拉凯什·罗尚(Rakesh Roshan)遇袭受伤;仅在1998年,就有101名商人因未支付保护费而被杀 1。尽管印度在1999年通过了严厉的有组织犯罪法,前警察局长D. Sivanandhan曾将其称为打击此类犯罪的“终极武器”,但专家对当前暴力程度是否与90年代相当存在分歧 1。比什诺伊团伙目前利用社交媒体宣传、跨境招募成员以及行业资金漏洞进行恐吓,以获取利益或名声 1。
关于动机,记者Jupinderjit Singh认为这是比什诺伊寻求尊重感并意图填补达乌德·易卜拉欣离开后的权力真空;而前警察局长Sivanandhan则认为这是纯粹的经济勒索,形容对方将“宝莱坞当ATM” 1。恐惧情绪已导致部分明星加强安保并呼吁政府干预 1。全印度电影工作者协会(All Indian Cine Workers Association)主席Suresh Shyamlal Gupta致函内政部长阿米特·沙阿(Amit Shah),担忧若恐惧持续,顶级明星可能被迫离开孟买 1。在国际层面,2025年9月加拿大将比什诺伊团伙列为恐怖实体;美国联邦调查局也将该团伙成员Satinderjeet Singh(Goldy Brar)列入十大通缉犯名单,悬赏最高100万美元 1。
A recent wave of targeted attacks against prominent Bollywood figures has sparked widespread concern, with police and media identifying imprisoned gang leader Lawrence Bishnoi as the mastermind behind the threats. 1 Early in October, actor Tiger Shroff was shot at in Mumbai, injuring his driver; an audio warning claimed that anyone refusing to collaborate with Salman Khan or cooperate would be killed. 1 Since 2022, there have been multiple shootings targeting Salman Khan’s apartment, director Rohit Shetty’s residence, and the family home of actress Disha Patani. 1 Additionally, comedian Kapil Sharma’s café in Surrey, Canada, was attacked three times, and actor Ranveer Singh reportedly received an extortion demand of approximately $1.1 million (around €980,000). 1
Suspects involved in these crimes are believed to be linked to Bishnoi, who has been incarcerated since 2014 but allegedly directs operations from prison using hidden mobile phones and messaging apps. 1 The current situation is compared to the underworld control of the Indian film industry in the 1990s, which included the 1997 assassination of music mogul Gulshan Kumar and the 2000 attack on director Rakesh Roshan. 1 In 1998, 101 businessmen were murdered in Mumbai for failing to pay protection fees. 1 Although India enacted strict organized crime laws in 1999—described by former police commissioner D. Sivanandhan as the "ultimate weapon"—experts remain divided on whether the current level of violence matches that of the past era. 1
Analysts suggest different motivations for the resurgence of threats. Journalist Jupinderjit Singh believes Bishnoi seeks respect and aims to fill the power vacuum left by Dawood Ibrahim’s departure, while former police commissioner Sivanandhan views the actions as pure economic extortion, describing the industry as an "ATM." 1 Internationally, Canada designated the Bishnoi gang as a terrorist entity in September 2025, and the FBI placed Satinderjeet Singh (Goldy Brar) on its Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list with a bounty of up to $1 million. 1 Fear has led some stars to enhance their security measures, and Suresh Shyamlal Gupta, president of the All Indian Cine Workers Association, wrote to Home Minister Amit Shah, warning that top celebrities might be forced to leave Mumbai if the climate of fear persists. 1
