Bollywood actor Salman Khan has received a new threat from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. According to the Mumbai Police’s Traffic Control unit, a person claiming to be gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother sent a message on Monday stating that the actor must either visit a temple to apologize for allegedly killing a black buck or pay a ransom of Rs 5 crore.
Details of the Threat
The message included a stark warning: “If Salman Khan wants to stay alive, he should go to our temple and apologise or pay Rs 5 crore. If he does not do so, we will kill him; our gang is still active.” The police are currently investigating the message and are working to trace its sender.
Previous Incidents
This threat comes in the wake of several alarming incidents involving Salman Khan:
- On October 28, a 20-year-old man named Mohammad Tayyab, also known as Gurfan Khan, was arrested in Noida in connection with a threat call involving Salman Khan and NCP MLA Baba Siddique’s son, Zeeshan Siddique.
- Earlier this year, two individuals attempted to trespass onto Khan’s farmhouse in Panvel using fake identities.
- In 2023, he received a threat email allegedly sent by gangster Goldy Brar, and in 2022, a letter threatening the actor was discovered on a bench near his residence.
Increased Security Measures
Following the recent murder of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique, who was killed outside Zeeshan Siddique’s office while celebrating Dussehra, Salman Khan’s security cover has been significantly increased. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for Siddique’s murder, citing his close ties with the actor.
Recent Ransom Demand
Additionally, on October 30, Salman Khan received another death threat from an unknown individual who demanded a ransom of Rs 2 crore.
