Harry Boxer was apprehended in California by US agency ICE while allegedly managing gang activities from abroad.

Gangster Harry Boxer, who is linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, has been detained in California by the US agency ICE, according to Bhaskar English.

Boxer, who fled India to the US in 2024, faces several serious criminal cases in India, including murder and extortion.

He had claimed responsibility for a firing incident outside the house of filmmaker Rohit Shetty and is accused of threatening several Bollywood celebrities.

The accused allegedly targeted actor Ranveer Singh by sending a voice note to his manager demanding ₹10 crore in extortion money, threatening to kill the actor and his staff.

Boxer is also accused of threatening singer Guru Randhawa and comedian Kapil Sharma, whose cafe in Canada was reportedly attacked with gunfire.

A caller claiming to be Boxer allegedly demanded ₹5 crore from actor Tusshar Kapoor, though police officials stated that a voice comparison of the recording did not match Boxer's official audio sample.
