A prominent Bollywood director was reportedly extorted of ₹5 crore, with the money transferred to an overseas crime lord. The director has not lodged any formal complaint.
A well‑known film director in Mumbai is alleged to have been forced to part with ₹5 crore by a criminal syndicate. According to sources, the money was handed over to a kingpin operating from outside India.
The director has reportedly chosen not to file a police complaint, citing personal or professional considerations. Law enforcement agencies have been alerted, but no official statement has been released regarding an investigation.
If the allegations are verified, the case could highlight the growing reach of transnational organised crime into the Indian entertainment industry, prompting tighter scrutiny of financial transactions linked to film projects.
