“Apologise At Temple Or Pay Rs 5 Crore”: Salman Khan Gets Fresh Threat

New Delhi:

Mumbai cops last night received a threatening message against actor Salman Khan, allegedly from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, according to the sources. The anonymous message allegedly gave two options to the actor – apologise at a temple or pay Rs. 5 crores – to stay alive.

This is the second death threat Salman Khan has received in a week.

Mumbai Police traffic control room received a threatening message in the name of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi last night over WhatsApp, according to the police sources. The message sent to the traffic control room claims that “Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother is speaking and if Salman Khan wants to stay alive, he should go to our temple and apologise or give Rs 5 crore. If he does not do so, we will kill him, our gang is still active.”

The police is investigating the message.

Last week, on October 30, Mumbai traffic control received a similar threat against Mr Khan, demanding Rs. 2 crore. Azam Mohammad Mustafa, a resident of Bandra East, was arrested soon after.

Earlier, Gufran Khan, a 20-year-old tattoo artist from Noida, was arrested for threatening Salman Khan and Bandra East MLA Zeeshan Siddique.

In the past, Salman Khan has received multiple death threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, apparently due to his involvement in the blackbuck hunting case in Rajasthan during the shooting of the Bollywood movie Hum Saath Saath Hain.

Suspected members of the gang had opened fire outside the actor’s Bandra home in April.

The actor’s security has been heightened following a string of death threats.
