The 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.

In the beginning of this year when the alleged members of the Bishnoi's gang fired shots outside Khan's Bandra residence, raising serious safety concerns and prompting heightened security measures around the actor.
On Tuesday, a 20-year-old from Noida was arrested for allegedly threatening both Salman Khan and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Zeeshan Siddique. Police continue to investigate the origins of these threats.
