This latest incident comes a day after another man was arrested on Tuesday from Noida for threatening to kill Salman Khan and Bandra East NCP legislator Zeeshan Siddique. In his threats, Tayyab demanded money from both Siddique and Khan. The MLA’s father, former Maharashtra Minister Baba Siddique, had recently been shot dead on October 12, adding a chilling layer to the case.
For Salman Khan, the threats are not a new ordeal. In 2022, a letter threatening Khan was found on a bench near his residence at Mumbai's Galaxy Apartments. Similarly, in March 2023, the actor reportedly received an email warning from gangster Goldy Brar.
Earlier this year, two unidentified individuals attempted to gain access to Khan's Panvel farmhouse using false identities. In April, suspected associates of the Bishnoi gang were alleged to have fired shots outside Khan's Bandra home, heightening concerns for his security.
