Another threat has been issued to Bollywood actor Salman Khan, with the sender demanding ₹5 crore on “behalf of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang”, officials said on Friday (November 8, 2024).
The threat message was sent to Mumbai traffic police’s WhatsApp helpline on Thursday night, an official said.
The sender of the message threatened the actor and demanded ₹5 crore, claiming it was being made on behalf of the Bishnoi gang. Besides, the individual also threatened the lyricist of the song ‘Main Sikandar Hoon’, the official said.
On a complaint by traffic officials, the Worli police have registered a case and launched a probe, he said.
In the past few weeks, the traffic police helpline has received many threat messages for Salman Khan.
Mr. Khan had earlier received death threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. While Bishnoi himself is lodged in Ahmedabad’s Sabarmati jail in cases including attempted murder and extortion, suspected members of his gang opened fire outside the actor’s Bandra home in April.
Weeks after that, Navi Mumbai Police claimed to have uncovered a plot by the Bishnoi gang to kill Mr. Khan while on his way to his farmhouse at Panvel near Mumbai.
