Lawrence Bishnoi's international associate detained in US
What's the story
Harry Boxer, an alleged associate of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, has been detained by United States authorities. Boxer, also known as Hari Chand Jaat, was reportedly running operations from the US and is accused of several crimes in India, including murder and extortion. Boxer's arrest comes after two other gang members, Himanshu Bhau and Neeraj Faridpuria, were also nabbed in the US recently.
Threats issued
Boxer threatened several Bollywood actors
Boxer, who hails from Narayanpur village in Rajasthan and was a former sports enthusiast and boxing coach, is known for his involvement in international extortion rackets.
He had claimed responsibility for the firing incident outside filmmaker Rohit Shetty's Mumbai residence and threatened several Bollywood stars through social media posts and audio messages.
The threats were directed at high-profile figures like Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar.
Legal troubles
Boxer wanted in multiple murder cases
Boxer is wanted in several cases of murder, attempted murder, armed assaults, and systematic extortion across multiple states.
His arrest is seen as a breakthrough by Indian security and intelligence agencies, who have been monitoring his activities since the Shetty incident.
The agencies are now working on legal proceedings to ensure accountability for Boxer's actions in both countries.
Previous arrest
Boxer's previous detention in the US
Boxer's latest detention comes after a brief immigration incident in January 2026 when he tried to seek asylum in the US.
He was briefly detained by immigration authorities, then released.
His current arrest is part of a larger effort by law enforcement to dismantle the violent network of the Bishnoi gang and ensure safety in the film industry.
