TV actor Abhinav Shukla and his family have reportedly received a death threat from a social media user claiming to be a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. This death threat comes after the ongoing feud involving Rubina Dilaik and Asim Riaz on the reality show Battleground.
Abhinav Shukla shared screenshots of the disturbing direct message he received on Instagram via his X handle. A user named Ankush Gupta sent an abusive message to the actor, which read, "Lawrence Bishnoi ka banda hoon. Tera address pata hai mere ko, aa jau kya Salman Khan ek ghar pe goli maara tha vaise tere bhi ghar aa kar goli maarunga ak47 se."
The user also threatened Shukla’s family and security personnel by claiming that he is aware of the actor’s daily routine. He gave him a final warning, saying, "Last warning de raha hoon, Asim ko galat bolne ke Pehle tera naam par aa jayega thik hai. Lawrence Bishnoi jindabad, Lawrence Bishnoi bhai asim ke sath hai"
Rubina Dilaik's husband tagged Punjab Police and wrote on X, "DEATH THREATS to my family! @DGPPunjabPolice @PunjabPoliceInd @DgpChdPolice @ChdPol. Person seems to be from Chandigarh / Mohali. Please act firmly & promptly. To anyone who recognises the person plz report to @DGPPunjabPolice."
Abhinav also shared screenshots highlighting some hate and abusive messages that he and his wife Rubina have been receiving allegedly from fans of Asim Riaz.
Rubina also reacted to the death threats on her Instagram stories and wrote, "My silence is not my weakness! Don't test my patience."
For those who are unaware, Asim and Rubina were panellists on the sports-based reality show Battleground. The duo were often seen indulging in arguments, but a recent confrontation between them, including Abhishek Malhan, led to the KKK14 contestant's removal from the show. This sparked a heated debate on social media. Some supported Asim, while others called out his temper issues.
Amid this rift, Abhinav was asked about Asim’s remark regarding Rubina's presence on the show during a social media interaction. To this, he responded, “All jacked up muscle, no brain and bad attitude is not a sign of fitness.
