Salman Khan Is Threatened Once More for Speaking About Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi
News Mania Desk / Piyal Chatterjee / 8th November 2024
Due to a song that associates his name with incarcerated mobster Lawrence Bishnoi, Bollywood star Salman Khan has been threatened once more. After a string of threats in recent months, Mumbai’s traffic control room got the warning at approximately midnight on Thursday, raising yet another security concern about the individual.
In reference to a song that purportedly features the names of both Salman Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi, the threat message warned that the songwriter will suffer dire consequences within a month. “The songwriter will become so unwell that he will be unable to compose music. The threat message said, “Salman Khan should save them if he has the courage.”
This most recent incident comes after threats against Lawrence Bishnoi and his accomplices escalated recently. Bishnoi and his friends had previously targeted Mr. Khan over purported issues arising from a 1998 blackbuck poaching case.
A 32-year-old guy named Bhikha Ram, also called Vikram, was recently arrested by authorities in Haveri, Karnataka, in relation to previous threats made against Mr. Khan. Bhikha Ram, a native of Jalore, Rajasthan, was turned over to the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) of Maharashtra on Wednesday. Bikha Ram acknowledged admiring Lawrence Bishnoi, whom he views as his “idol,” during his interrogation. It has been stated that Bikha Ram intended to construct a temple for the Bishnoi community by using a 5-crore ransom demand.
Another well-known case involving a death threat and an extortion demand of ₹50 lakh made against actor Shah Rukh Khan is also being looked into by Mumbai Police. A phone registered in the name of Raipur-based attorney Faizan Khan was identified as the source of the call to Bandra Police. Faizan has said he thinks he was singled out as part of a conspiracy after reporting his phone was stolen on November 2.
According to early reports, Mumbai Police in Raipur questioned Faizan Khan on Thursday. Khan had earlier objected to Shah Rukh Khan over a line in the 1994 movie Anjaam that mentioned deer shooting, a delicate subject for the Bishnoi group.
“I hail from Rajasthan. The Bishnoi community (which is from Rajasthan) is my friend. It is in their religion to protect deer. So, if a Muslim says something like this about deer, it is condemnable. Therefore, I raised an objection,” he said, as quoted by news agency . In a two-hour-long interrogation, Faizan claimed his phone had been stolen, adding that the call made from it was an attempt to implicate him.
