Mumbai: The alleged Lawrence Bishnoi threatens Superstar Salman Khan with an apology at a temple or to pay Rs 5 crores to keep him safe. According to a report by the Indian Express, this is the latest threat. The note was reportedly sent to the Mumbai Traffic Police helpline via WhatsApp. “Listen very carefully, Salman Khan; if you don’t, like Baba Siddique, people will target you,” read the threatening note.
Background of the Threats
Salman Khan has been receiving constant threats of attack over the past year. Recently, towards the end of April, a firing incident was reported outside Salman’s Bandra residence where shots were allegedly fired at the actor. Cops say that this, along with the previous threats, came from Lawrence Bishnoi, a notorious gangster known for violent fights. Bishnoi has gone public and has declared his hatred for Khan as he is held accused of being involved in the blackbuck poaching case in 1998. Bishnoi belongs to a community which worships blackbucks and has made many statements against Khan and blamed him for the case.
Mumbai Police Action and Increased Security
Mumbai Police have begun to investigate this new threat and extra security has been given to Khan’s residence. In the past few months, the security detail of the actors has been increased as a response to the increasing threats. The authorities keep a close eye on movement around his residence and are dealing with the situation on priority because these threats have been ongoing for a long time. The person who had sent the message has also been looked for by the authorities and also found out whether there were any other connections to the Bishnoi network.
Salman Khan is not the only Bollywood celebrity who has faced such threats of extortion. Many celebrities in India face such harassment, and lately, with the Bishnoi gang involvement in high-profile cases, one does wonder if celebrity safety is at all possible or whether the measures taken for protection are so effective. Experts say that though tightened security may prove useful, greater importance lies in breaking down the networks that are specifically targeting public figures.
The latest threat reminds everyone of the serious security issues celebrities like Salman Khan face. In Mumbai Police’s further probing into this issue, fans and the industry patiently await an update on the course and put their hopes together with the continued safety of the actor amidst these frowning incidents.
