The threat message said: “Do not take it lightly. If Salman Khan wants to live and end his feud with Lawrence Bishnoi, he must pay Rs 5 crore. If the money is not paid, Salman’s fate will be Worse than Baba Siddique’s fate.” The sender claimed to be a close associate of Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang and claimed that he could mediate a truce between the actor and the gang.
Strengthening Salman Khan’s security
Salman Khan has faced death threats in recent months, leading to heightened security measures. The actor now has Y+ security and security around his Bandra residence and Panvel farmhouse has been significantly enhanced following the threat. Additionally, Mumbai Police has installed advanced AI-powered CCTV cameras and facial recognition technology to keep a close watch on the area.
Khan’s security has also been beefed up following the assassination of NCP leader Baba Siddiq. The former Maharashtra minister and three-time MLA was shot dead by three gunmen outside his son’s office in Bandra. Despite being rushed to Lilavati Hospital, Siddique was declared dead on arrival. So far, Mumbai police have arrested 10 suspects in connection with the murder.
