Abhinav Shukla Alleges Death Threats Linked to Asim Riaz Fan; Asim Responds Sharply:

In an online Instagram statement, Abhinav Shukla noted that he and his family were being threatened by someone believed to be a fan of Asim Riaz and a two-bit member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Shukla publicized the allegations messaged to him, along with a screenshot where he tagged relevant police officials, on the 20th of April.

The threat went like, “I’m from Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang. I know your address. Should I come over? Just like Salman Khan was shot at, I’ll come to your house and shoot you with an AK-47.” The sender continued to add, “This is your last warning. Before you say anything about Asim, your name will be on the list. Lawrence Bishnoi is with Asim.” The message referenced the version four shooting outside Salman Khan’s house.

The message was further followed by the shooter reassuring Shukla that it was the final warning he would be getting.

Asim Riaz, a former contestant of Big Boss, also came up with an equally stern statement directed towards shukla without Riaz adding his name straightforwardly.

“Four judges were having a real and heated discussion—who invited you to chip in? Mind your business and stop attempting to play the hero. This is not some group WhatsApp ‘panchayat’,” Riaz wrote. According to him, Shukla was attracting attention by trying too hard to comment on things that did not concern him directly.

Denial on Threat Allegations and Claims of Substance Abuse

While responding to the claims that they have been threatened, Riaz made them sound less serious. “You’re as pathetic as your ‘sympathy’ fishing gets. These accusations put forward by fake handles do not hold water,” he said.

Riaz also responded to Shukla’s comments on possible substance abuse. “Only a man who’s never lifted would cry ‘steroids’ when a someone shows up built different, I built this body, this name, this attitude – brick by brick,” he said.

Remaining Issues Over Battleground Judges’ Feuds

Tension is bound to increase on Battleground with frequent war of words between judges Asim Riaz and Rubina Dilaik. Undoubtedly, the drama fueled further after fellow judge Abhishek Malhan’s last outburst, leading to Shukla putting out his thoughts on the quarrel – which appears to have sparked this latest controversy.
