Bhojpuri actress Akshara Singh, who is also known for her appearance in 'Bigg Boss OTT 1' (Hindi), recently went through a terrifying experience when she received a threatening phone call.

Akshara Singh has been threatened over a phone call, with the caller demanding a ransom of Rs 50 lakh. The caller reportedly threatened to kill the actress if the money was not paid. In response to the alarming threat, Akshara has filed an FIR in Patna, seeking legal action against the individual responsible.

According to reports, Akshara Singh received threatening calls from two different numbers on the night of November 11. The caller warned her that her life would be in danger if the ransom of Rs 50 lakh was not paid within two days. This alarming situation has led to an investigation by the local police, who are working to trace the culprits and ensure her safety.

This incident places Akshara Singh among other well-known actors, such as Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, who have also faced similar threats in the past. Like them, Akshara is now dealing with the unsettling reality of being targeted by criminal elements, prompting both public concern and police intervention.

Prashant Kumar Bhardwaj, the officer in charge of the police station, confirmed that Akshara Singh had filed a complaint regarding the extortion and murder threats. He stated, "The situation is being investigated. The caller will soon be recognized," assuring the public that efforts are underway to identify and apprehend the perpetrator.

In another recent case, Pappu Yadav, an independent MP from the Purnia Lok Sabha constituency, also received threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Yadav took to social media to express his support for Salman Khan, mentioning that he had spoken with the actor regarding the threats. His gesture highlights the growing concern about such threats targeting high-profile individuals.
