Mumbai Police recently received a threatening message directed at actor Salman Khan, allegedly from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The threat message with an ultimatum stated ‘apologise at temple or pay INR 5 crore to stay alive’. This follows an earlier threat received by Mumbai Police’s Traffic Control, which demanded a ransom of INR 2 crore from Khan. On November 7, Mumbai Police also revealed that Shah Rukh Khan had received a death threat, accompanied by an extortion demand of INR 50 lakh. Amid these ongoing threats, Salman Khan now faces a fresh threat call, this time linked to a song allegedly mentioning the jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Salman Khan Receives Death Threat From Lawrence Bishnoi’s Brother: ‘Apologise at Temple or Pay INR 5 Crore’, Case Registered.

According to reports, the latest threat was received by Mumbai’s Traffic Control room at around midnight on Thursday, November 7. The message referenced a song that purportedly mentions both Salman Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi, warning that the songwriter responsible would face dire consequences within a month. The threatening message stated, “The songwriter’s condition will be such that he will no longer be able to write songs. If Salman Khan has the courage, he should save them.” Shah Rukh Khan Death Threat: Mumbai Police Increase Security Outside SRK’s House Mannat Amid Investigation (Watch Video).

This new wave of threats is tied to Salman Khan’s ongoing legal battles, notably the 1998 blackbuck poaching case. The case stems from an alleged incident during the filming of Hum Saath-Saath Hain, where Khan and his co-stars are accused of hunting a blackbuck in the forests near Jodhpur. The Bishnoi community, to which the gang belongs, holds the blackbuck sacred, leading to their strong opposition against Khan. On April 14, 2024, two members of the Bishnoi gang opened fire at Khan’s Galaxy Apartment in Bandra, Mumbai, before fleeing on a motorcycle. The gunmen were later apprehended in Gujarat.
