Salman Khan Receives New Death Threat with Rs. 2 Crore Ransom Demand

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has once again received a death threat, with the sender demanding a ransom of Rs. 2 crore. The threat, sent to the Mumbai Traffic Police, warned that failing to pay would result in Khan’s death. Following the message, police in Worli registered a case and launched an investigation into the incident.

Past Incidents and Arrests

This threat is one of several Salman Khan has faced recently. Earlier, Shaikh Hussain Shaikh Mausin, a vegetable seller from Jamshedpur, was arrested for sending a threatening message through the Mumbai Traffic Police's WhatsApp helpline, demanding Rs. 5 crore. Additionally, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang previously issued a threat to Khan, though the sender later apologized and claimed it was a mistake. Recently, another 20-year-old man from Noida was detained by police for allegedly threatening both Khan and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Zeeshan Siddique.

Salman Khan’s Heightened Security

Due to ongoing threats, Khan’s security has been significantly increased. In April, suspected members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang fired shots near his Bandra residence, raising concerns about his safety. These threats have led authorities to take stringent measures to protect the actor from potential attacks.

Background of the Salman Khan-Lawrence Bishnoi Feud

The tension between Salman Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang goes back to a 1998 blackbuck hunting case involving Khan. The blackbuck is a revered species for the Bishnoi community, and this incident sparked a long-standing feud. Threats from the Bishnoi gang have intensified over the years, leading to heightened security around the actor.

Escalation with Counter-Threats to Bishnoi

In response to these threats, a resident of Uttar Pradesh recently issued a warning to Lawrence Bishnoi. In a social media video, he cautioned Bishnoi, saying that if any harm came to "Salman bhai," there would be repercussions. He claimed to have “5,000 shooters” ready in Mumbai to counter Bishnoi’s alleged 2,000 shooters. This statement has added further tension to the ongoing feud between Bishnoi's gang and Salman Khan.

These recent incidents underscore the ongoing security concerns around Salman Khan and the escalating conflicts linked to the 1998 Blackbuck case.
