Salman Khan gets a new threat
Salman Khan received yet another death threat from an unknown assailant. The blackmailer also demanded a huge ransom of Rs 2 crore and threatened with dire consequences if the same is not fulfilled. According to reports, the Worli police registered an offense against the blackmailer or the unknown person for threatening the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor via WhatsApp messages.
The Mumbai Police's Traffic Helpline number received the latest threat that demanded Rs 2 crore from Salman Khan. The matter later went to the Worli Police, and a case was registered on the same to track the blackmailer.
For the unversed, the development comes two days after the Mumbai police detained a young man from Noida for allegedly issuing a death threat to Salman and NCP leader Zeeshan Siddique. His arrest was made on Monday. "The accused initially sent a threatening message to MLA Zeeshan Siddique's helpline number and later made a voice call on it, in which he issued a death threat to Siddique and actor Salman Khan. This took place on Friday," a Mumbai police official said.
Salman Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi's rivalry
Salman Khan has been receiving death threats for quite some time now. Apart from the recent threat calls, he also received an unknown warning from a vegetable seller from Jamshedpur recently. The caller threatened Salman in the name of Lawrence Bishnoi and demanded a ransom of Rs 5 crore, following which the police started the investigation.
On October 12, Baba Siddique lost his life after a group of assailants fired a few rounds of bullets and fled from the crime scene in Bandra. Siddique’s murder sent shockwaves across the country, as he was a renowned political figure. The Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the murder and dropped a Facebook post that revealed that Siddique was murdered because of his close relations to Salman Khan. "Salman Khan, we did not want this war, but you made our brother lose his life. Today the pool of decency of Baba Siddique is closed, or at one time he was under MCOCA (Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act) with Dawood. The reason for his death was his links to Dawood and Anuj Thapan in Bollywood, politics, and property dealings," the post read.
