Mumbai: Superstar Salman Khan is the man who basks in glory, but controversy in the same breath. The actor recently received another death threat. Police sources linked it to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Not the first death threat to Salman Khan, it has certainly grabbed lots of attention because of the public apology made by the person who threatened him. This report looks at the latest news and Khan’s security situation.
The Threat
An ominous threat to Salman Khan – On 18 October 2024, a chilling WhatsApp message was sent to the Mumbai Traffic Police demanding Rs 5 crore (Rs 50 million) from the actor as a ransom to end the long-running feud with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. This was a threat message stating that if Khan paid the gang, he would suffer a worse fate than was meted to NCP leader Baba Siddique, who was murdered earlier in the month. The message stirred apprehension because the rivalry between Khan and the gang traces back to the 1998 blackbuck poaching case when Bishnoi’s community had religious sentiments towards the blackbuck.
The Apology
Much to everyone’s surprise, the man behind this threat came out in public and apologized. He said he was wrong, admitting that he had committed a grave mistake and that the message sent was grave enough. His apology somewhat eased concern, but certainly, the Mumbai Police are not letting their guard down. They are probing the antecedents of the sender and his motive for apologizing to see if indeed the apology is true or otherwise is part of a grand design.
Security of Salman Khan
While Khan has shown remorse over the incident, security for Salman Khan is still one of the major issues for the Mumbai Police. The agency has gone ahead with deploying Khan with Y+ security, which would include his armed escort at all times. Also, CCTV cameras with AI capabilities have been installed around his Bandra home to track possible threats more effectively. Security arrangements were put in place after a series of previous threats from the Bishnoi gang, with an attempted shooting incident taking place much earlier in April.
Conclusion
The person responsible for the latest threat against Salman Khan apologised for it. The situation remains pretty tense for now. The history between Khan and the Bishnoi gang doesn’t appear to have a lot of worry about the case of blackbuck poaching. The safety of the actor will remain under the shadow till then. The Mumbai Police will continue to keep an extremely secured security arrangement in the place as they continue their probe based on the genuineness of the apology and the movement that may happen next.
