NEW DELHI: Spiritual content creator Abhinav Arora’s family claimed on Monday that they have received a death threat from Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang.
“Efforts are being made to escalate our situation through social media. Abhinav has not done anything to warrant these threats. He has only focused on his devotion and has to tolerate so much,” Abhinav Arora’s mother told news agency ANI.
“We received a call from the Lawrence Bishnoi group today, where they threatened that Abhinav would be killed. Last night, I missed a call, and today we received a message from the same number stating that they would kill Abhinav,” she added.
The 10-year-old spiritual content creator from Delhi recently came under fire after a video surfaced showing him being scolded by Swami Rambhadracharya at a religious event. Abhinav’s mother responded to the backlash against the viral video saying that even scolding from elders can be considered a blessing.

“It was not such a big issue as it’s being made out to be. This video is from 2023, and it happened in Vrindavan. Abhinav was so engrossed in devotion that he forgot he had to remain silent on stage and started chanting,” she said.
“Rambhadracharya ji also blessed him afterward; even scolding from elders is equal to a blessing,” she added.
The influencer with over 900 thousand followers on social media website Instagram also addressed the incident and claimed that he has been receiving death threats.

“Everyone is focusing on the scolding and not the blessing that he gave me afterward. He called me into his room and blessed me, and that video is also available on the internet today. The video is from 2023, not Pratapgarh,” he said.
“There is chaos outside our house… there is a threat to my life… how long will we tolerate this?” he added.
