Bollywood megastar Salman Khan has reportedly received another death threat, marking an unsettling escalation in the ongoing threats allegedly connected to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
This latest development follows an earlier threat aimed at fellow Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who received a similar anonymous call earlier in the week. The police are now on high alert as investigations continue.
According to reports from Filmfare, the Mumbai traffic police control room received a menacing call in which the caller specifically mentioned Salman Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi, issuing a direct threat to the actor. Authorities are currently working to trace the caller’s identity, while security has been significantly intensified around Salman to ensure his safety.
This recent incident is part of a series of threats Khan has received over the past few years, allegedly from the Bishnoi gang. Earlier this week, a chilling message sent to the Mumbai Police’s traffic control room reportedly demanded that Salman Khan choose between two options: either issue an apology or pay Rs 5 crore to avoid further danger. According to the message, the actor was instructed to “go to our temple and apologize, or pay Rs 5 crore. If he does not do so, we will kill him; our gang is still active.”
The WhatsApp message, signed in the name of Lawrence Bishnoi, prompted immediate action from the police, who are now closely monitoring Khan’s security arrangements. Officers have been stationed around the actor’s residence and on the set of his latest film, Sikandar, where he is currently shooting. Salman’s security has been under constant reinforcement since the initial threats began, but this recent series of events has intensified the protective measures surrounding him.
The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has previously been associated with threats to public figures in Bollywood, with Salman Khan emerging as a primary target. The gang’s alleged feud with the actor traces back to a series of historical conflicts, and Khan’s legal issues have reportedly fueled tensions.
While Salman Khan has not publicly addressed the latest threats, the heightened security presence and increased police vigilance underscore the gravity of the situation. Fans and Bollywood insiders are closely following the developments, hoping that the ongoing investigation will soon bring clarity and ensure Khan’s safety.
As Salman Khan continues filming Sikandar, the actor remains under constant protection, with law enforcement determined to bring those responsible for these threats to justice. The case serves as a stark reminder of the security challenges faced by some of India’s most high-profile celebrities, and the authorities are sparing no effort in safeguarding one of Bollywood’s biggest stars.
