Threat to Film Producer Amit Jani
Significant news related to the entertainment industry and law and order has emerged from Jodhpur, Rajasthan. Amit Jani, the producer of the upcoming film 'Kala Hiran', reportedly received death threats and warnings of severe consequences during his visit to Jodhpur. Following this incident, the police at Ratnada Police Station in Jodhpur swiftly registered a case. This event has once again sparked debate regarding the safety of individuals involved in film production and the freedom of expression.
Details of the Threat Calls
According to information received, producer Amit Jani got phone calls on his mobile from unknown international numbers. The caller identified himself as 'Shehzad Bhatti'. During the conversation, the caller expressed strong objections to the production and subject matter of the film 'Kala Hiran', which Amit Jani is making. He issued an ultimatum to Amit Jani to completely disassociate himself from the film project immediately, warning that failure to do so would lead to extremely serious repercussions.
Alleged Pakistani Connection
A major and surprising turn in the case occurred when the victim, Amit Jani, made a significant claim regarding the origin of the calls. He stated that the threatening call did not come from an ordinary international number, but from a +92 series number, which is Pakistan's country code. Furthermore, the call was made via WhatsApp rather than through a regular mobile network.
Police Investigate VPN Possibility
Police officials believe there is a strong possibility that a local or foreign criminal might have used a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to conceal their identity. This could mean the WhatsApp call was generated through a Pakistani proxy server. Police informed that the initial technical investigation report was received late in the evening, and efforts are now underway to connect the dots in this entire matter.
History of Threats
Ratnada Police Station Officer Dinesh Lakhawat confirmed the incident, stating that a case has been registered under relevant sections following a written complaint from Amit Jani. In his complaint to the police, Amit Jani specifically mentioned that this is not an isolated incident; he has received threats multiple times through various channels concerning the same film 'Kala Hiran' previously. He had also filed complaints in connection with these prior threats at various police stations across the country.
Police Action and Ongoing Investigation
Given the sensitive nature of the case, Jodhpur Police are on high alert. According to Station Officer Dinesh Lakhawat, the police have simultaneously launched a thorough investigation on both technical and legal fronts.
- Call Details Analysis: Detailed Call Detail Records (CDR) and IP addresses of the WhatsApp and international calls are being examined.
- Location Tracking: Following the initial technical report received in the evening, efforts have been intensified with the help of relevant security and technical agencies and the cyber cell to establish the actual source (original location) and precise identity of the caller.
Police officials stated that the matter has been taken very seriously, and all aspects are being meticulously investigated. Only after the completion of the investigation and the availability of technical evidence will it become fully clear who the real mastermind behind this threat is, whether the call genuinely originated from Pakistan or involved VPN manipulation, and what their primary motive was.
