Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

Actor Ranvir Shorey filed an official complaint with Mumbai Police on Tuesday, 13 October, after receiving death threats via email. The threats followed his X post criticising the Cockroach Janata Party's (CJP) street protest at Jantar Mantar on 10 October. One sender, using the name Raj Parihar, claimed to be tracking Shorey's location and warned of an attack. Shorey shared screenshots on X and tagged Cyber Dost and Maharashtra Cyber. Mumbai Police responded publicly, asking him to share his contact details. The actor later confirmed the complaint was filed and thanked those who expressed concern. The CJP had protested demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged electoral roll irregularities.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both NDTV and the Times of India report the same sequence of events: actor Ranvir Shorey filed a complaint with Mumbai Police after receiving death threats via email, which followed his X post criticising the CJP's street protest. The two outlets agree on all key facts, from the sender's name and the threat content to the police response and Shorey's official complaint. The uniform coverage, drawn largely from Shorey's own social media posts and police replies, carries no discernible slant. The story leaves open whether the cyber police investigation will identify the sender and whether any arrest will follow.
