Salman Khan Receives New Death Threat, Demands for Rs 2 Crore: Mumbai Police Begin Investigation
This latest threat adds to previous incidents involving the actor.
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has once again become the target of a death threat. An unknown individual reportedly sent messages via WhatsApp to Mumbai Police's Traffic Helpline, demanding Rs 2 crore from the actor, warning of severe consequences if the money is not paid. Worli Police promptly registered a complaint and began tracking the sender to identify them.
This latest threat adds to previous incidents involving the actor. Just two days prior, Mumbai Police apprehended a 20-year-old man from Noida, who had allegedly issued threats against both Salman Khan and NCP leader Zeeshan Siddique.
The suspect initially contacted Siddique’s helpline, first through a message, later following up with a voice call in which he issued explicit death threats targeting both Siddique and Khan. Using technical evidence, police traced and detained the man in Noida, and he is currently being transported to Mumbai for questioning and further investigation.
The threat was initially directed at Siddique’s public relations office in Bandra East. Mumbai Police are now intensifying their efforts to trace and assess the origin of the latest message directed at Khan, especially in light of recent incidents heightening concern around the actor’s security.
