In a recent turn of events, the Mumbai police are investigating a Facebook post that issued fresh threats to Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. The authorities have traced the origin of the threatening post to a European country, raising suspicions of the involvement of a member of the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang, possibly residing outside India.

This development follows the disturbing incident earlier this month when gunshots were heard outside Punjabi singer Gippy Grewal's residence in Vancouver, Canada. Lawrence Bishnoi, through a Facebook post, claimed responsibility for the attack, asserting that it was a message directed at Salman Khan.

The Facebook post warned Salman Khan, stating, "You consider Salman Khan a brother, but now it's time for your 'brother' to come and save you." The post further cautioned Khan not to rely on any external assistance for protection, emphasizing that "no one can save you." The gang's message alluded to Salman Khan's response to the death of Sidhu Moose Wala and accused him of having criminal associations.

Gippy Grewal, who was indirectly implicated in the threat due to the incident at his residence, clarified that he is not friends with Salman Khan. Grewal explained that he had met Khan only twice, once during the trailer launch of "Maujaan Hi Maujaan" earlier this year and previously on the sets of Bigg Boss. Expressing shock over the situation, Grewal emphasized that the anger directed towards him is unwarranted.
