Mumbai Police confirmed on Thursday that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has received a threat call. A case has been registered under sections 308(4), 351(3)(4) BNS at the Bandra police station. The Mumbai Police team has reportedly traced the call to Raipur, Chhattisgarh, and investigation teams have since left for the state.
This is not the first time a Bollywood actor has faced such threats. On November 5, Mumbai Police received a threatening message against actor Salman Khan, allegedly from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The message gave the actor two options: to apologise or pay Rs50 million to stay alive. The threat, received via WhatsApp, claimed that if Salman Khan wanted to stay alive, he should either visit their temple and apologise or pay Rs50 million. The message, purportedly from Lawrence Bishnoi's brother, warned that if the demands were not met, the gang would kill him as they were still active.
The police stated that the message was received on Monday and that they have initiated an investigation. This marks the second death threat Salman Khan has received within a week. Earlier, in a separate incident, Mumbai Police Traffic Control received another death threat demanding a ransom of Rs20 million from the actor.
On October 24, Mumbai Police arrested a man from Jamshedpur who had threatened Salman Khan in the name of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, demanding a ransom of Rs50 million. The authority registered a case against an unknown person and started an investigation after Mumbai Traffic Police received the threatening message.
