In the audio message, a man introduced himself as Anil Pandit, Bishnoi's younger brother.
He claimed Khurrana had not answered his calls and urged him to speak with the group about an unspecified matter.
"If you want to settle something, then go ahead. But if you want to show this kind of attitude, then something similar to what happened with Tiger Shroff could happen to you too."

Threat to Khurrana's life and family
The sender also claimed to know Khurrana's residence in Chandigarh, his location in Mumbai, and the number of his bike.
