Salman Khan receives another death threat; case registered
What's the story
Exactly a year after multiple rounds were fired in front of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's Mumbai home, the Sikandar actor has received a fresh death threat.
According to India Today, someone threatened to kill the actor by entering his Bandra home and blowing up his car with a bomb in a WhatsApp message sent to Mumbai's Transport Department's official number.
Details
Lawrence Bishnoi link not yet established
A case has been registered against an unknown individual at the Worli Police Station, and an investigation is underway.
It's not known if any Lawrence Bishnoi gang associate sent the threat. To recall, Bishnoi's brother Anmol Bishnoi had taken the responsibility of last year's firing in a Facebook post.
However, following the April incident, Khan has received multiple fake threats, too.
Threats
Why is Bishnoi after Khan?
Since 2023, Khan and his family have received several threats, with many of them coming from the jailed gangster Bishnoi.
Last year, Mumbai Police even uncovered an assassination plot against the 59-year-old at his Panvel farmhouse.
Bishnoi belongs to the Bishnoi community, which considers blackbuck sacred. He has repeatedly mentioned that he "can't forgive" Khan for his involvement in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case.
Aftermath
Khan moves around with heavy security now
Khan's life amidst the increased flow of threats has been limiting.
While promoting his latest film, Sikandar, the superstar revealed that he only travels between his home and film sets and is always accompanied by several bodyguards. He was given Y+ security last year.
Further, the actor bought a bulletproof car, and his home now has a large bulletproof glass panel on the balcony.
