Reportedly, 25 armed men with weapons and guns had surrounded his residence, located near Shivaji Park. 

When a news portal asked Dilip about it Joshi states, “This news is fake. Aisa kuch nahi hua. I don’t know where it started from and how. This news has been in circulation since two days and I was astonished to hear it.” 

Joshi says that it was shocking and surprising that such news came out and was reported widely. “Hamne agar kuch kiya ho toh aisi koi baat nikle, bina sar pair wali khabar hai yeh.”

According to a  report, the Nagpur Control Room received a warning call on February 1, 2023, which claimed that 25 armed people with weapons and guns were outside Dilip Joshi's residence at Shivaji Park. The unknown caller introduced himself as Katke, and he called the Nagpur Control Room. The caller (Katke) informed the Nagpur Control Room that he had heard some people talk about 25 armed men reaching Mumbai to carry out these dangerous activities. Soon after this call, the Nagpur Control Room immediately alerted Shivaji Park Police Station and started an investigation by registering a case there.
