Why Salman Khan is on high alert?

The murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique, who was shot by three armed men outside his son Zeeshan Siddique's office in Mumbai, has left Salman on edge. The actor, who has been on the radar of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang for some time, has received alarming death threats. According to reports, the gang demanded ₹5 crore from the actor to resolve the enmity. In a chilling message sent to Mumbai Police, the gang threatened that if the payment wasn’t made, Salman Khan would face a fate worse than Siddique.

Salman Khan’s Bulletproof car details

To enhance his security, Salman Khan has purchased the Nissan Patrol SUV, a bulletproof vehicle specially designed to withstand potential attacks. The SUV includes thick glass shields that can resist point-blank gunfire, explosive alert indicators, and camouflage black shades to ensure the privacy of passengers. Since the car is not available in the Indian market, Salman is importing it from Dubai, which adds to the hefty cost.

Previous security measures

This is not the first time Salman Khan has taken such precautions. Last year, after receiving threats from the Bishnoi gang, he imported another bulletproof car from the UAE. The actor, who is currently hosting Bigg Boss 18, returned to the set under heavy security following Baba Siddique’s murder.

Salman Khan's Work front

Salman Khan is currently busy shooting for 'Sikandar,' directed by A.R. Murugadoss. Rashmika Mandanna and Kajal Aggarwal will be sharing the screen with Salman for the first time, and the film is set to release in 2025. Besides this, Salman will also be seen in 'Kick 2.'
