Salman Khan Receives New Death Threat from Lawrence Bishnoi Group; Security Heightened
In a shocking turn of events, Bollywood star Salman Khan has once more come under the focus of a security concern since the infamous Lawrence Bishnoi gang has allegedly issued a fresh death threat against the actor.
Demanding a large sum of Rs 5 crore, the message warns of a considerably more serious turn Khan's circumstances could take should the ransom not be paid.
Said to have been delivered to Khan's team and taken by Mumbai Police authorities, the menacing note said, "Pay Rs 5 crore to avoid dire consequences." The message then goes on to suggest that Khan's situation will be "worse than Baba Siddiqui's," a hidden allusion to a contentious person connected to the criminal underground without the money. Given the gang's allegation that Khan's safety is under grave danger, the comment seems to be a forebative warning.
Mumbai Police responded quickly to the threat, stepping up security around the actor's Bandra apartment. Several police department sources verified that the actor's house—which has already been targeted—is under 24-hour observation right now. Around the house, police have been positioned; more CCTV cameras and armed guards have strengthened security measures. Preventive actions have also been taken by officials, stepping up patrols in and around Bandra, a neighbourhood known for its high profile celebrities.
Authorities are allegedly developing a quick security plan to guard Khan and are investigating any possible ties to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, infamous for its criminal activity in Punjab and Maharashtra. Recent months have seen the Bishnoi group under scrutiny for their participation in multiple criminal activities including threats against celebrities and extortion.
Salman Khan has been the target of a death threat before this as well. Reports appeared in 2018 implying the actor had gotten a similar threat from the Bishnoi gang, which prompted him to boost his own personal security. The actor's participation in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case—an action that has since caused continuous conflict between the actor and some criminal elements—had supposedly infuriated the gang. Renowned for his love of the environment and animal conservation, Bishnoi has long harboured resentment towards Khan for his case involvement.
Given Khan's high reputation in the film business and his historical ties to legal difficulties, the latest threat emphasises the continuous hazards and risks he encounters. Although Khan has been a regular subject of threats from underworld personalities over the years, this most recent episode highlights the ongoing conflict that envelops his public and personal life.
Police authorities are currently looking into the source of the message; Khan's team is in direct touch with law enforcement to make sure all safety procedures are followed. With his security staff likewise on great alert, the actor is reported to be treating the threat seriously.
For decades, Khan has been a main player in the Indian film business; he has also been quite involved in social work and charity. But his personal and professional life has often been tarnished by legal disputes, scandals, and now, fresh dangers to his security.
The threat from Lawrence Bishnoi has once more sparked questions about the safety of well-known celebrities in India, especially in Mumbai, where such events have been on increase recently. Authorities are advising the public to keep alert as investigations develop and help to resolve this issue so guaranteeing the actor's safety.
