Salman Khan receives another death threat; Rs 2 crore ransom demanded
By Ajay Joseph | First Published Oct 30, 2024, 9:30 AM ISTThe clash between Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi dates back to a 1998 blackbuck poaching case, in which Khan was accused of hunting the animal—a species considered sacred by the Bishnoi community. The ongoing conflict has contributed to a series of threats against Khan, with the Bishnoi gang's involvement fueling persistent security issues.
Bollywood actor Salman Khan has received yet another death threat, this time demanding a ransom of Rs 2 crore. It is reportedly said that the threat was sent to the Mumbai Traffic Police, warning that failure to comply would result in the actor's assassination. Authorities at Worli have registered a case and initiated an investigation to trace the unidentified sender.
This development comes after a series of recent threats against Khan, heightening security concerns. In one previous case, a 24-year-old Jamshedpur resident named Shaikh Hussain Shaikh Mausin was arrested for sending a WhatsApp message to the Mumbai Traffic Police demanding Rs 5 crore from Khan. Claiming he sent the message "by mistake," the sender later issued an apology.
